NameDimensionTypeDescription
EpochDateReal Number or TextThe reference epoch for the object.
Mean MotionAngleRateReal NumberA measure of the osculating period of the orbit, expressed as an angular rate. The value is 2pi rad / orbit_period.
EccentricityUnitlessReal NumberA 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.
InclinationAngleReal Number or TextThe angle between the orbit plane and the XY plane of the coordinate system.
Argument of PerigeeAngleReal Number or TextThe 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).
RAANAngleReal Number or TextThe 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 AnomalyAngleReal Number or TextA measure of the time past periapsis passing, expressed as an angle.
BStarUnitlessReal NumberBStar drag value.
