{Velocity Type}

This attribute sets the values of the selected velocity type for the Burnout state of a Launch segment of the MCS.

Syntax

Astrogator <Satellite Object Path> SetValue <Astrogator Object Path>.Burnout.{Velocity Type} <Value> <Unit>

Description

For FixedVelocity, the only value to set is:

For InertialVelocity, the following values are available to be set:

These values are described in the following table:

Field Description
Fixed Velocity If the Fixed Velocity option is selected, specify the velocity magnitude in the fixed frame.
Inertial Velocity If the Inertial Velocity option is selected, specify the velocity magnitude in the inertial frame.
Inertial Velocity Azimuth If the Inertial Velocity option is selected, specify the inertial velocity azimuth. Inertial velocity azimuth is the angle from the projection of north in the local horizontal plane to the inertial velocity vector, right handed.
Inertial Horizontal Flight Path Angle If the Inertial Velocity option is selected, specify the inertial horizontal flight path angle. Inertial horizontal flight path angle is the angle from the local horizontal to the inertial velocity vector, positive towards radius. It is also 90 degrees minus vertical flight path angle.

Examples

FixedVelocity

Astrogator */Satellite/Satellite1 SetValue MainSequence.SegmentList.Launch.Burnout.FixedVelocity 7.3 km/sec

InertialVelocity

Astrogator */Satellite/Satellite1 SetValue MainSequence.SegmentList.Launch.Burnout.InertialVelocity 7.8 km/sec
