Name Dimension Type Description
Time DateFormat Real Number Time.
Azimuth LongitudeUnit Real Number Dihedral angle between north vector and velocity vector about the detic nadir vector. The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Elevation AngleUnit Real Number Angle between the velocity vector and the local horizontal plane. The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Range DistanceUnit Real Number The range (i.e., distance between the primary and secondary object) at the given time.
