Analyze a launch window for a missile or launch vehicle.
LaunchWindow_RM <ObjectPath> Range <RangeVal>
The LaunchWindow_RM command computes close approaches on the selected vehicle. When calculating close approaches CAT determines the satellites that pass within the specified range during the period for which ephemeris is defined for the vehicle.
If specified by the LaunchWindow command, satellites found to be within a close approach of the vehicle are then created and loaded into the current scenario using their common names and SSC numbers from the satellite database. Accesses between the satellites with close approaches and the group vehicle are also computed.
The Range <RangeVal> option specifies the maximum allowable distance between the current object and any other object in the database. During analysis, when LaunchWindow finds an object within the <RangeVal> specified, the object and the associated time are returned. <RangeVal> is entered in Connect distance units and must be greater than 0.0.
To set a maximum range constraint of 40 km on the launch window analysis between the LV_LW_TLEs satellite and other objects in the database:
LaunchWindow_RM */LaunchVehicle/LV_LW_TLEs Range 40000
