Spacecraft.OrbitNumberDaily Property

Top 

Description

Returns the number of times a Spacecraft has orbited the central body (revolutions) and resets to orbit 1 for the first ascending node that crosses Spacecraft.OrbitNumberResetLongitude degrees East longitude. 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.
