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. Note, you must enable orbit number calculations before propagating this Spacecraft by setting Spacecraft.OrbitNumberCalculationEnabled = 1.
