Spacecraft.ElapsedMinutesFromEpoch(Variable) Method

Top

Description

Returns the number of minutes between a user-specified epoch and the current Spacecraft epoch. The user-specified epoch might be either a value or a Variable object. This is a property of the spacecraft and not of the scenario as a whole. Two similar spacecraft may return different ElaspedMinutesFromEpoch at a single instance due to their specific integrator's step size.
