| 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. |
