Data Provider Elements
Name | Dimension | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Epoch | Date | Real Number or Text | The reference epoch for the object. |
Mean Motion | AngleRate | Real Number | A measure of the osculating period of the orbit, expressed as an angular rate. The value is 2pi rad / orbit_period. |
Eccentricity | Unitless | Real Number | A measure of the shape of the orbit. Values less than 1 indicate an ellipse (where zero is a circular orbit) and values greater than 1 indicate a hyperbola. |
Inclination | Angle | Real Number or Text | The angle between the orbit plane and the XY plane of the coordinate system. |
Argument of Perigee | Angle | Real Number or Text | The angle from the ascending node to the eccentricity vector (lowest point of orbit) measured in the direction of the satellite's motion and in the orbit plane. The eccentricity vector points from the center of the Earth to perigee with a magnitude equal to the eccentricity of the orbit. For a circular orbit, the argument of perigee is defined to be zero (perigee at the ascending node). |
RAAN | Angle | Real Number or Text | The angle in the XY plane from the X axis to the ascending node, measured in a right-handed sense about the Z axis. in the equatorial plane. For equatorial orbits, the ascending node is defined to be directed along the positive X axis, and thus the value is 0.0. |
Mean Anomaly | Angle | Real Number or Text | A measure of the time past periapsis passing, expressed as an angle. |
BStar | Unitless | Real Number | BStar drag value. |
