Arguments
Return Value
Returns the acquisition of signal time (AOS), loss of signal time (LOS), and duration of the argument's contact with the Spacecraft.
The FF_Preferences.IntervalEventReportingBehavior property controls whether the start and end of propagation are reported as events. By default, if contact starts before the beginning of the propagation span, FreeFlyer will label the start of the propagation as the start of contact. If contact extends past the end of the propagation span, FreeFlyer labels the end of propagation as the end of contact.
