Description
The SetState SPICE command sets the orbit state definition of the satellite using a BSP file. These are binary files that are in a standard format produced by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). They are intended for ephemeris for celestial bodies, but you can use them for spacecraft.
For a new SPICE satellite, you must specify the File and BodyID.
You must enter at least one option on the command line. Valid <Options> are:
| <Options> | Description |
|---|---|
| File "<Filename>" | Enter an SPICE file to be added. This option is required for a new SPICE satellite.
"<FilePath>" is the path to a file on your local drive. |
| BodyID <Value> | Enter the satellite ID value. This option is required for new Spice satellite or if specifying a new File and the BodyID is not in new File. |
| TimePeriod {TimeInterval} | Enter {TimeInterval} to define the beginning and end of the satellite's time period for propagation. The interval must be within the file times. If you do not enter TimePeriod, STK will use the file times. For valid {TimeInterval} values see Time Options. |
| TimeStep <StepSize> | Specify the interval between calculated ephemeris output points. Enter TimeStep in seconds, greater or equal to 0.001 seconds. The default value is 60 seconds. |
| SegmentNumber <Value> | Specify the current segment. The default value is 1. |
| NoProp | If you include NoProp on the command line, STK will set the satellite's state but will not propagate the satellite. |
