Target_Vector_Incoming_Asymptote

This attribute retrieves the values for Target Vector Incoming Asymptote elements used to define the spacecraft's Initial State.

Syntax

Astrogator_RM <Satellite Object Path> GetValue <Astrogator Object Path>.Target_Vector_Incoming_Asymptote.{Element}

Description

If you select Target Vector Incoming Asymptote as the Coordinate Type, the following six elements need to be specified:

Element Connect Name Description
Radius of Periapsis rp Distance from the center of mass of the central body to the periapsis of the hyperbolic orbit (rp in the illustration). Enter a value in the selected distance unit.
C3 Energy C3 The energy of the orbit, computed as -/a, where is the gravity constant of the central body and a is the semimajor axis. Enter a value in the selected distance unit squared per selected time unit squared.
Right Ascension of Incoming Asymptote AsymRA The right ascension of the hyperbolic incoming asymptote in the selected coordinate system. Enter a value in the selected angle unit.
Declination of Incoming Asymptote AsymDec The declination of the incoming asymptote in the selected coordinate system. Enter a value in the selected angle unit.
Velocity Azimuth at Periapsis AzVp The inertial flight path azimuth of the trajectory measured at periapsis. Enter a value in the selected angle unit.
True Anomaly TA The angle from the periapsis of the orbit to the spacecraft's position vector, measured in the direction of spacecraft motion (the angle in the illustration). Enter a value in the selected angle unit.

In the drawing below, and represent the incoming and outgoing asymptotes, respectively:
