F107Index
|
The F10.7 index value that is used by the Jacchia-Roberts and MSIS atmospheric density models to calculate the exospheric temperature at the Spacecraft's current epoch. These models use the F10.7 index value from 1 day previous to the Spacecraft's current epoch in calculating exospheric temperature, due to the time it takes for solar fluctuations to affect Earth's atmosphere. Therefore, the value reported by this property corresponds to the F10.7 index value 1 day previous to the Spacecraft's current epoch. Solar flux units (sfu) are 1x10-22 W/m^2/Hz. Note that you can not report F10.7 with files containing Tc/Kp data.

These values are used when propagating the Spacecraft any time a potential file is used. For other calculations that depend on the physical properties of a celestial body, such as Spacecraft.Height or propagation of a Spacecraft with a point mass gravitational model, the celestial body physical properties are set using syntax such as "Earth.Mu".
