CentralBody

This attribute lets you define the Central Body used by a stopping condition.

Syntax

Astrogator <Satellite Object Path> SetValue <Attribute Path>.StoppingConditions.{Stopping Condition}.CalcObjectAttributes.CentralBody {Value}

Description

This attribute is interchangeable with the CoordSystem and Reference Point attributes. It is used for stopping coniditions that take the central body into account (e.g., Periapsis). The default central body of a stopping condition is the Earth. You can find a list of all central bodies in the Component Browser. If you require additional ones, you can duplicate Ceres or Deimos and adjust its properties to fit your needs. SPICE files are available for most Moons from JPL at http://pds-naif.jpl.nasa.gov/.
