AreaTarget: Definition: Boundary Points

Points of the area target in its central body centered fixed coordinate system.

Name Dimension Type Description
Point Number Unitless Integer Point number.
Geodetic-Lat LatitudeUnit Real Number The detic latitude of the center of the ground ellipse.
Geodetic-Lon LongitudeUnit Real Number The detic longitude of the center of the ground ellipse.
Cartesian-x DistanceUnit Real Number The X component of the center of the ground ellipse with respect to object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Cartesian-y DistanceUnit Real Number The Y component of the center of the ground ellipse with respect to object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Cartesian-z DistanceUnit Real Number The Z component of the center of the ground ellipse with respect to object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Geocentric-Lat LatitudeUnit Real Number The centric latitude of the detic subpoint (i.e. angle between the subpoint position vector and the XY plane of the object's central body fixed axes.)
Geocentric-Lon LongitudeUnit Real Number The centric longitude of the detic subpoint (i.e. angle from the X-axis locating the projection of the subpoint position vector onto the XY plane of the object's central body fixed axes.) Longitude increases in the direction found using the right-hand rule about the Z-axis.
Spherical-Lat LatitudeUnit Real Number The signed angle measured from the XY plane to the position vector, where positive angles are used for locations above the XY plane, and negative for those below.
Spherical-Lon LongitudeUnit Real Number The signed angle measured from the X axis to the projection of the position vector into the XY plane. The angle increases in the direction found by the right hand rule about the Z axis.
Spherical-Rad DistanceUnit Real Number The magnitude of the position vector (i.e. the radius vector).
Cylindrical-R DistanceUnit Real Number The radius value of the cylindrical coordinate representation of the position vector, where the cylinder's symmetry axis is the Z axis. Its value is the magnitude of the projection of the position vector into the XY plane of the object's central body fixed axes.
Cylindrical-Lon LongitudeUnit Real Number The signed angle measured from the X axis to the projection of the position vector into the XY plane. The angle increases in the direction found by the right hand rule about the Z axis.
Cylindrical-Z DistanceUnit Real Number The Z component of the position vector.
UTM Zone Unitless Text The UTM Zone character indicator for the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
UTM Easting DistanceUnit Real Number The easting value within the UTM zone for the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
UTM Northing DistanceUnit Real Number The northing value within the UTM zone for the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
MGRS Cell Unitless Text The MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) code for the cell area containing the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
