Description
Returns the difference between the position vector magnitude of the calling Spacecraft and the position vector magnitude of the argument Spacecraft (i.e. radial separation = calling Spacecraft position magnitude - argument Spacecraft position magnitude).
Timing Precision Mode
This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.
