This attribute retrieves the values for Target Vector Incoming Asymptote elements used to define the spacecraft's Initial State.
Astrogator_RM <Satellite Object Path> GetValue <Astrogator Object Path>.Target_Vector_Incoming_Asymptote.{Element}
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. |
