Computes the SAA (South Atlantic
Anomaly) transit times for the vehicle for the channel and flux
level specified by the vehicle's SAA contour settings. Valid for
vehicles whose central body is earth.

Real Number |
The time when the vehicle crosses into the
SAA. |
Entrance
Altitude |
DistanceUnit |
Real Number |
The vehicle's altitude at the entrance time. |
Entrance
Latitude |
LatitudeUnit |
Real Number |
The vehicle's detic latitude at the entrance
time. |
Entrance
Longitude |
LongitudeUnit |
Real Number |
The vehicle's detic longitude at the entrance
time. |
Entrance
Flux intensity |
FluxIntensity |
Real Number or Text |
The flux intensity at the vehicle's location at the
entrance time. If the location is below the minimum altitude of the
grid, the value will be "Below SAA"; if the location is above the
maximum altitude of the grid, the value will be "Above SAA"; if the
value could not be computed then the value will be "No Data
Available". |
Exit Pass Number |
Unitless |
Integer |
Satellite pass number at interval end time. Pass
numbers are continuously increasing counts of orbit revolutions.
Valid for satellites only. |
