The facility, place, or target uses its
ground altitude to construct an ellipsoid to be used in the
LineOfSight computations. This ellipsoid passes thru the ground
position and has the same surface normal as the central body shape
does at that point. This report displays relevant characteristics
of this ellipsoid.
