Velocity Projected Covariance

Provides data about velocity covariance matrix relative to selected set of axes. The covariance is transformed into the requested reference frame using a 3x3 coordinate transformation matrix. The result of this transformation is that the original covariance is simply expressed relative to the new axes and the effects of the rotation of the axes are ignored. Any set of axes defined in the Vector Geometry Tool is available for use, including user defined sets. The data requires position/velocity covariance to be defined for the object. Note: This data provider does not support interpolation of the position/velocity covariance matrices. Output is limited to the times of the stored ephemeris points.


Available for these objects: LaunchVehicle, Missile, Satellite

Type: Time-varying data.

Availability: Reports | Graphs | Dynamic Displays | Strip Charts
