AzimuthLongitudeReal Number or TextDihedral angle between north vector and velocity vector about the detic nadir vector. The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
ElevationAngleReal Number or TextAngle between the velocity vector and the local horizontal plane. The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
RangeDistanceReal NumberThe range (i.e., distance between the primary and secondary object) at the given time.
Range RateRateReal NumberThe rate of change of the magnitude of the relative position vector. This is computed using the analytical formula dot_product(relative_position_vector, relative_velocity_vector) / magnitude(relative_position_vector). This is an exact formula when the velocity is the derivative of position. Some propagators (e.g., SGP4, J2Perturbation, J4Perturbation), however, produce ephemerides where the velocity is not exactly the derivative of position so that this formula does not compute the derivative of range exactly in such cases.
Azimuth RateAngleRateReal NumberThe rate of change of the azimuth angle.
Elevation RateAngleRateReal NumberThe rate of change of the elevation angle.
Relative VelocityRateReal NumberThe magnitude of the difference in the inertial velocities of the primary and secondary objects at the given time.
