HCW.SetReferenceOrbit(Array, Variable) Method

Top

Description

Sets the reference orbit of the HCW propagator using the specified Keplerian orbital elements (A, E, I, RAAN, W, TA) with respect to the ICRF. The reference orbit will be propagated with a two body (Keplerian) propagator when this Spacecraft is stepped. The epoch argument is optional; in the event that an epoch is not provided, the referenceOrbit will use the calling Spacecraft's epoch.

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.

Method Signature

HCW.SetReferenceOrbit(	Array referenceOrbit,
	Variable referenceEpoch)

Arguments

referenceOrbit
Description:	The Array containing the reference orbit's Keplerian Elements (A, E, I, RAAN, W, TA).
Required Size:	6

referenceEpoch
Description:	The Epoch used to define the reference orbit. This argument is optional: in the event that this argument is not defined, the reference state will use the epoch of the Spacecraft to be propagated.
