Description
The EstimableMeanMotion object holds information about how the mean motion (from the NoradEquinoctial element set) of a Spacecraft state is handled in the Orbit Determination / State Estimation process. This object is not creatable in script, but EstimableMeanMotion is always created as a child object of the Sgp4OrbitStateEstimablePropertyContainer object, as seen below:
Spacecraft1.OD.SGP4.MeanMotion.Sigma = 0.001;
Users cannot create instances of this type of object. However, users can access instances of this object type that have been created indirectly, for example as children of other objects. Users can also access any static properties and methods on this object type.
Inheritance Hierarchy: Object->EstimableProperty->EstimableMeanMotion

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.

The unique identifier for the object.

ProcessAction
|
Indicates whether the property should be estimated, considered, or ignored in the Orbit Determination process. If this property is part of a Spacecraft, which also has a process noise matrix interface, then changing this value will reinitialize the process noise matrix to a diagonal matrix in the ICRF frame.
|
Type: Variable
Access: Read/Write
|
ProcessNoiseRate
|
The amount of process noise per second to be added to the property's covariance with each time-step. If the property is frame dependent, setting this property will set it in the ICRF frame. If the property is part of a Spacecraft, which also has a process noise matrix interface, then setting this value will reinitialize the process noise matrix to a diagonal matrix in the ICRF frame. Alternatively, you can modify the process noise rate for this property by modifying the Spacecraft.OD.ProcessNoise.Matrix property directly, which will leave all other values intact.

ProcessNoise
|
The process noise to be added to the property's covariance with each time-step. The amount of process noise added is scaled by a ratio of the duration of the step taken and the propagator step size.
This property has been Deprecated. ProcessNoise has been replaced by ProcessNoiseRate. To continue using this property, please ensure to set the ProcessNoiseModel property to 'Use ProcessNoise By Step'. The ProcessNoiseModel property can be found on any Sequential Filter object or the Spacecraft OD Properties object.
