Segment types.
Member | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
eVASegmentTypeInitialState | 0 | Initial State - can be used to define the initial conditions of your MCS, or of a subsequence within the MCS. |
eVASegmentTypeLaunch | 1 | Launch - can be used to model a simple spacecraft launch from Earth or another central body. |
eVASegmentTypeManeuver | 2 | Maneuver - can be used to model a spacecraft maneuver. |
eVASegmentTypeFollow | 3 | Follow - can be used to set the spacecraft to follow another vehicle (Satellite, Launch Vehicle, Missile, Aircraft, Ship, or Ground Vehicle) at a specified offset, and to separate from that vehicle upon meeting specified conditions. |
eVASegmentTypeHold | 4 | Hold - can be used to model landing or rendezvous operations by setting the spacecraft to maintain a fixed position in reference to another object or body, until meeting specified conditions. |
eVASegmentTypePropagate | 5 | Propagate - can be used to model the movement of the spacecraft along its current trajectory until meeting specified stopping conditions. |
eVASegmentTypeSequence | 6 | Sequence - can be used to organize segments and define the nature of the results that are passed on to the next segment or sequence in the MCS. |
eVASegmentTypeReturn | 7 | Return - can be used to control the execution of the Mission Control Sequence by returning control to its parent segment. |
eVASegmentTypeTargetSequence | 8 | Target Sequence - can be used to define maneuvers and propagations in terms of the goals they are intended to achieve. |
eVASegmentTypeStop | 9 | Stop - can be used to control the execution of the Mission Control Sequence by halting execution of the MCS. |
eVASegmentTypeUpdate | 10 | Update - can be used to modify some of the satellite properties to reflect changes that occur during the mission. |
eVASegmentTypeBackwardSequence | 11 | Backward Sequence - can be used to organize segments and define the nature of the results that are passed on to the next segment or sequence in the MCS. |
eVASegmentTypeEnd | 12 | End - The End segment is a default segment of the MCS that functions similarly to a Return segment; it returns control to the beginning of the MCS. The End segment cannot be disabled or deleted, nor can any segments be inserted into the MCS after it. |
