RotatingPulsatingSystem.GetScaleFactor(Variable) Method

Top

Description

Returns the scale factor for the transformation matrix at the specified epoch in km. The scaling factor is used to keep the position of the two objects constant in the frame, and is generally derived from the instantaneous distance between the two objects.

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.
