Cartesian

This attribute sets the values for Cartesian elements used to define the spacecraft's Initial State.

Syntax

Astrogator <Satellite Object Path> SetValue <Astrogator Object Path>.Cartesian.<Element> <Value> <Unit>

Description

If you select Cartesian as the Coordinate Type, the following six elements need to be specified:

Element Description
X The X component of the spacecraft position vector. Enter a value in the selected distance unit (e.g., km).
Y The Y component of the spacecraft position vector. Enter a value in the selected distance unit (e.g., km).
Z The Z component of the spacecraft position vector. Enter a value in the selected distance unit (e.g., km).
Vx The X component of the spacecraft velocity vector. Enter a value in the selected distance unit per selected time unit (e.g., km/sec).
Vy The Y component of the spacecraft velocity vector. Enter a value in the selected distance unit per selected time unit (e.g., km/sec).
Vz The Z component of the spacecraft velocity vector. Enter a value in the selected distance unit per selected time unit (e.g., km/sec).
