{TempOptions} Description
EarthAlbedo <Value> A measure of the reflectance of sunlight from the Earth's surface. <Value> should be between 0.0 and 1.0.
MaterialEmissivity <Value> A measure of the IR emission of the spacecraft. <Value> should be between 0.0 and 1.0.
MaterialAbsorptivity <Value> A measure of the absorptivity of the spacecraft. <Value> should be between 0.0 and 1.0.
Dissipation <Value> Value (in Watts) of internal heat consumption of the spacecraft. <Value> should be between 0.0 and 1.0e9 watts.
CrossSectionalArea <Value> Cross sectional area (in m^2) of the spacecraft. For the spherical model, pi*r^2; for the plate model, the area of the plate.
ShapeModel {Sphere | Plate} Specify the type of thermal model for the spacecraft.
NormalVector "<TruncObjPath> <VectorName>" Specify the VGT vector that defines the normal direction to the plate when using the plate model.
