Description
Numerical representation of a celestial body. Allows for the tracking of the celestial body in question by using numbers rather than strings.
The following body ID's are assigned to the default Solar System objects: Mercury = 1; Venus = 2; Earth = 3; Mars = 4; Jupiter = 5; Saturn = 6; Uranus = 7; Neptune = 8; Pluto = 9; Moon = 10; Sun = 11. Custom CelestialObjects will have body ID's that change with each run of a Mission Plan.

The CelestialObject BodyID property can be used as input for a variety of FreeFlyer's properties and methods, such as Spacecraft.Azimuth(BodyID) or GroundStation.FOVInterference(trackedSpacecraft, interferenceAngle, interferingCelestialObjectID). In the example below, a CelestialObject representing Io is created and used in an access calculation.
