MCS Segments

The MCS Segments components are the same as the MCS Segments that can be used to define an Astrogator mission. Their Connect attributes are the same as they are for the MCS versions of the segments, but are placed in the context of the Component Browser syntax when working with the component versions.

Syntax

ComponentBrowser */ SetValue "MCS Segments" {Component} {Attribute} <Value> [{Unit}]

ComponentBrowser */ Duplicate "MCS Segments" {Component} <Duplicate Component Name>

Description

The following segments are available for constructing a Mission Control Sequence:

Initial State Launch Follow Maneuver
Propagate Hold Sequence Backward Sequence
Target Sequence Update Return Stop

You can duplicate these segments and create new ones.

Examples

Duplicating the Propagate segment

ComponentBrowser */ Duplicate "MCS Segments" Propagate "My Propagate"

Setting the maximum fuel mass of a custom Follow segment

ComponentBrowser */ SetValue "MCS Segments" "My Follow" SeparationType "Separate at End of Leader's Ephemeris"
