Spacecraft.Acceleration Property

Top 

Description

Returns the vector of the Spacecraft's instantaneous acceleration referenced to the Mean of J2000 Earth-Equator coordinate frame. This vector provides the Cartesian components of the change in the Spacecraft's velocity with respect to time. The components of this vector are populated using the ForceModel associated with the Spacecraft's Propagator and will be zero if an analytic propagator is used.
