Spacecraft.OrbitNumberBounded Property

Top 

Description

Returns the number of times a Spacecraft has orbited the central body (revolutions). It is incremented each time the Spacecraft crosses the ascending node, and decremented similarly for backwards propagation. This property resets to orbit 1 the orbit after the orbit number reaches Spacecraft.OrbitNumberResetNumber. Note, you must enable orbit number calculations before propagating this Spacecraft by setting Spacecraft.OrbitNumberCalculationEnabled = 1.
