Name

Description

DeclaredName

The name of the object as declared.

MOI

The tank moment of inertia tensor.

Name

The name displayed for this object in output windows such as views, plots, and reports.

ObjectId

The unique identifier for the object.

ObjectType

The type of the object.

TankCenterOfGravity

The center of gravity associated with the fuel mass in the tank. This location is determined based on the tank's reference location, fill line orientation, tank volume, fuel mass, and fuel density. The location is referenced from the origin of the Spacecraft BCS and is measured in meters.

TankMass

The current mass of the mass source in the Tank. This property is updated as mass is consumed.

TankMassDensity

The density of the mass source in used in the calculation of the center of gravity and moments of inertia calculations.

TankOrientation

The unit vector in the Spacecraft body coordinate system that defines the primary axis (or z-axis) of the tank. The tank's fill line is oriented perpendicular to this axis. The tank's center of gravity is determined based on this fill line orientation, the tank reference location, tank volume, fuel mass, and fuel density.

TankPower

The power level supplied by the Tank. The power is used in the calculation of Thrust based on the respective Thruster coefficients. This property functions equivalently to the pressure property of a chemical tank and thruster with the ratio of temperature to reference temperature set to 1.

TankReference

The geometric center of the SphericalTank. This location is referenced from the origin of the Spacecraft BCS. The tank's center of gravity is determined based on this reference location, the fill line orientation, tank volume, fuel mass, and fuel density.
