CelestialObject.RadiusEquatorial Property

Top

Description

The equatorial radius of the celestial body. This value is used in calculating properties such as Spacecraft.Height or evaluating drag perturbations.

The RadiusEquatorial, RadiusPolar, and Flattening properties of a CelestialObject are all linked. Setting the RadiusEquatorial value will update the RadiusPolar value automatically.

Timing Precision Mode

This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.
