Spacecraft.OrbitWizardGeoSynchSetup(TimeSpan, Variable, Variable, Variable, Variable) Method

Top

Description

Initializes the state of a spacecraft with a geosynchronous orbit. The user specifies the desired Longitude at the Equator Crossing, Argument of Perigee, and True Anomaly. The Spacecraft's previous Inclination is maintained.

Method Signature

Spacecraft.OrbitWizardGeoSynchSetup(	TimeSpan epochAtEquator,
	Variable longitudeAtEquator,
	Variable eccentricity,
	Variable argumentOfPerigee,
	Variable trueAnomaly)

Arguments

epochAtEquator
Description:	Epoch at equator crossing.

longitudeAtEquator
Description:	Longitude of the equator crossing.
Valid Range:	-360 ≤ longitudeAtEquator ≤ 360

eccentricity
Description:	Eccentricity of the orbit.
Valid Range:	0 ≤ eccentricity ≤ 1

argumentOfPerigee
Description:	Argument of Perigee of the orbit.
Valid Range:	-360 ≤ argumentOfPerigee ≤ 360

trueAnomaly
Description:	True Anomaly of the orbit.
Valid Range:	-360 ≤ trueAnomaly ≤ 360

Return Value

Type:

number

Returns a 1 if the geosynchronous orbit was initialized successfully. Returns a 0 if orbit initialization failed.
