Spacecraft.AngularMomentumDeclination Property

Top 

Description

The declination of the angular momentum vector with respect to the MJ2000 Earth-Equatorial frame for a spinning Spacecraft. AngularMomentumRightAscension and AngularMomentumDeclination define the orientation of the "angular momentum frame" with respect to the MJ2000 Earth-Equatorial frame. The z-axis of the angular momentum frame is coincident with the spinning Spacecraft's angular momentum vector.
