NameDimensionTypeDescription
Cartesian-xDistanceUnitReal NumberThe X component of the center of the ground ellipse with respect to object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Cartesian-yDistanceUnitReal NumberThe Y component of the center of the ground ellipse with respect to object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Cartesian-zDistanceUnitReal NumberThe Z component of the center of the ground ellipse with respect to object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Geodetic-LatLatitudeUnitReal NumberThe detic latitude of the center of the ground ellipse.
Geodetic-LonLongitudeUnitReal NumberThe detic longitude of the center of the ground ellipse.
Geodetic-AltDistanceUnitReal NumberThe detic altitude of the object relative to the center of the ground ellipse.
Geocentric-LatLatitudeUnitReal NumberThe centric latitude of the detic subpoint (i.e. angle between the subpoint position vector and the XY plane of the object's central body fixed axes.).
Geocentric-LonLongitudeUnitReal NumberThe centric longitude of the detic subpoint (i.e. angle from the X-axis locating the projection of the subpoint position vector onto the XY plane of the object's central body fixed axes.) Longitude increases in the direction found using the right-hand rule about the Z-axis.
Geocentric-AltDistanceUnitReal NumberThe altitude value (i.e., magnitude of the relative position vector between the object and its detic subpoint). Its value is the sum of the ground altitude and the height above ground.
Spherical-LatLatitudeUnitReal NumberThe signed angle measured from the XY plane to the position vector, where positive angles are used for locations above the XY plane, and negative for those below.
Spherical-LonLongitudeUnitReal NumberThe signed angle measured from the X axis to the projection of the position vector into the XY plane. The angle increases in the direction found by the right hand rule about the Z axis.
Spherical-RadDistanceUnitReal NumberThe magnitude of the position vector (i.e. the radius vector).
Cylindrical-RDistanceUnitReal NumberThe radius value of the cylindrical coordinate representation of the position vector, where the cylinder's symmetry axis is the Z axis. Its value is the magnitude of the projection of the position vector into the XY plane of the object's central body fixed axes.
Cylindrical-LonLongitudeUnitReal NumberThe signed angle measured from the X axis to the projection of the position vector into the XY plane. The angle increases in the direction found by the right hand rule about the Z axis.
Cylindrical-ZDistanceUnitReal NumberThe Z component of the position vector.
Alt AGLDistanceUnitReal NumberThe altitude above ground level. The difference between the altitude and the terrain altitude. If no terrain is found at the detic subpoint, then the string "No Terrain" is returned.
Ground AltDistanceUnitReal NumberThe altitude of the ground.
Terrain AltDistanceUnitReal Number or TextThe terrain altitude. The altitude of the terrain located at the detic subpoint's latitude and longitude, measured from the object's central body surface along the surface normal through the detic subpoint. If no terrain is found at the detic subpoint, then the string "No Terrain" is returned.
Alt MSLDistanceUnitReal NumberThe altitude above mean sea level. The difference between the altitude and the height of mean sea level, measured from the object's central body surface along the surface normal through the detic subpoint.
Ground Alt MSLDistanceUnitReal NumberThe altitude of the ground, expressed with respect to mean sea level.
UTM ZoneUnitlessTextThe UTM Zone character indicator for the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
UTM EastingDistanceUnitReal NumberThe easting value within the UTM zone for the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
UTM NorthingDistanceUnitReal NumberThe northing value within the UTM zone for the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
MGRS CellUnitlessTextThe MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) code for the cell area containing the detic subpoint. Available only when the central body is Earth.
