Earth centered inertial vehicle velocity
local horizontal frame. This frame has the Z axis aligned with the
anti-radial direction and the X axis constrained toward the
inertial velocity direction. This frame is not restricted to Earth
oriented vehicles despite its name.

Real Number |
Time. |
Azimuth |
LongitudeUnit |
Real Number |
The angle measured to the projection of the vector
into the X-Y plane from +X in a right handed sense about +Z. The +X
direction has an azimuth of zero and +Y has an azimuth of 90
degrees. |
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. |
To Nadir Angle |
AngleUnit |
Real Number |
Angle between the apparent sun direction and the
nadir direction where nadir is defined as the direction to the
center of the central body. |
