Satellite: Astrogator Maneuver Ephemeris Block Initial: MultiBody

Used for targeting a different central body. See also B-plane targeting under Astrogator help.

Name Dimension Type Description
Time DateFormat Real Number Time.
BDotR DistanceUnit Real Number Dot product of B-Plane vectors B and R. B-vector is defined as the intersection of the B-plane and the trajectory plane, starting on the targeted central body and ending at the spot where the incoming asymptote crosses the B-plane. R is one of the axes of the B-plane.
BDotT DistanceUnit Real Number Dot product of B-Plane vectors B and T. B-vector is defined as the intersection of the B-plane and the trajectory plane, starting on the targeted central body and ending at the spot where the incoming asymptote crosses the B-plane. T is one of the axes of the B-plane.
BMagnitude DistanceUnit Real Number Magnitude of the B-plane B-vector. B-vector is defined as the intersection of the B-plane and the trajectory plane, starting on the targeted central body and ending at the spot where the incoming asymptote crosses the B-plane.
BTheta AngleUnit Real Number B-Plane theta angle is the angle between the B-vector and the T-axis of the B-plane.
Delta_Declination AngleUnit Real Number Delta Declination is the difference between the declination of the target body and that of the satellite with respect to the target body's parent body.
Delta_Right_Asc AngleUnit Real Number Delta Right Ascension is the difference between the right ascension of the target body and that of the satellite. The right ascension is measured with respect to the target body's parent body, in the parent body's inertial coordinate system.
