Spacecraft.Height Property

Top 

Description

Returns the height of the Spacecraft above its central body, measured along a vector normal to the surface of the body at the Spacecraft's sub-satellite point. The oblateness of the central body is taken into account when calculating the height. If Earth is set as the central body using the default radius and flattening coefficient, regardless of gravitational potential model, FreeFlyer will use the WGS 84 reference ellipsoid.
