Description
|
Spacecraft.ContactTimes(GroundStation contactGroundStation)
|
String
|
Contact is determined when the line of sight is within the contactGroundStation masking.
The ContactTimes method will account for refraction if refraction modeling is turned on using the GroundStation.RefractionModelType property.
|
Spacecraft.ContactTimes(PointGroup contactPointGroup)
|
String
|
Contact is determined when contactPointGroup's line of sight to the Spacecraft is above contactPointGroup's elevation angle. Only the first point in the PointGroup is used for this analysis.
|
Spacecraft.ContactTimes(Region contactRegion)
|
String
|
Contact is determined when the sub satellite point is within or on the boundary of contactRegion.
|
Spacecraft.ContactTimes(Spacecraft contactSpacecraft)
|
String
|
For a spacecraft with no sensors: the calculation is based on a direct line of sight. For a spacecraft equipped with sensors: contact is determined when any active Sensor of contactSpacecraft can "see" Spacecraft.
|
Spacecraft.ContactTimes(Spacecraft contactSpacecraft, Sensor contactSensor)
|
String
|
Contact is determined only when contactSensor on contactSpacecraft can "see" Spacecraft.
|
Spacecraft.ContactTimes(GroundStation contactGroundStation, TimeSpanArray EventTime, Array EventType)
|
Variable
|
Contact is determined when the line of sight is within the contactGroundStation masking.
The ContactTimes method will account for refraction if refraction modeling is turned on using the GroundStation.RefractionModelType property.
|
Spacecraft.ContactTimes(PointGroup contactPointGroup, TimeSpanArray EventTime, Array EventType)
|
Variable
|
Contact is determined when contactPointGroup's line of sight to the Spacecraft is above contactPointGroup's elevation angle. Only the first point in the PointGroup is used for this analysis.
|
Spacecraft.ContactTimes(Region contactRegion, TimeSpanArray EventTime, Array EventType)
|
Variable
|
Contact is determined when the sub satellite point is within or on the boundary of contactRegion.
|
Spacecraft.ContactTimes(Spacecraft contactSpacecraft, TimeSpanArray EventTime, Array EventType)
|
Variable
|
For a spacecraft with no sensors: the calculation is based on a direct line of sight. For a spacecraft equipped with sensors: contact is determined when any active Sensor of contactSpacecraft can "see" Spacecraft.
|
Spacecraft.ContactTimes(Spacecraft contactSpacecraft, Sensor contactSensor, TimeSpanArray EventTime, Array EventType)
|
Variable
|
Contact is determined only when contactSensor on contactSpacecraft can "see" Spacecraft.
