Calculation Objects - Other Orbit

Other Orbit components are a subset of Calculation Object components.

Syntax

ComponentBrowser */ SetValue "Calculation Objects" {Component} {Attribute} <Value> [{Unit}]

ComponentBrowser */ Duplicate "Calculation Objects" {Component} <Duplicate Component Name>

Description

The Other Orbit components are:

Component Description
Apparent Solar Longitude Apparent solar longitude
Beta Angle The angle between the orbit plane and the Sun
Earth Mean Solar Longitude Apparent solar longitude modified for earth's eqn of time
Local Apparent Solar Longitude Apparent solar longitude minus satellite longitude
Longitude of Periapsis Sum of RAAN and argument of periapsis
Orbit State Value Value of a user-input orbit state
SignedEccentricity Eccentricity of the conic orbit with a '+' or '-' sign. Positive if postion near periapsis; negative if near apoapsis.
SignedInclination Inclination of the plane of the orbit with a '+' or '-' sign. Positive if position near ascending node; negative if near descending node.
True Longitude Sum of RAAN, argument of periapsis and true anomaly

The attributes for each component have the same names and value selections that appear in the Astrogator graphical user interface.

Examples

Duplicating an Other Orbit component

ComponentBrowser */ Duplicate "Calculation Objects" "Local Apparent Solar Longitude" "My Local Apparent Solar Longitude"

Changing an attribute of a custom Other Orbit component

ComponentBrowser */ SetValue "Calculation Objects" "My True Longitude" CoordSystem "CentralBody/Earth J2000"
