Spacecraft.AngularMomentumDeclination Property

Top

Description

The declination of the angular momentum vector with respect to the ICRF for a spinning Spacecraft. AngularMomentumRightAscension and AngularMomentumDeclination define the orientation of the "angular momentum frame" with respect to the ICRF. The z-axis of the angular momentum frame is coincident with the spinning Spacecraft's angular momentum vector.

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.
