Thruster.Orientation Property

Top

Description

Dimensionless unit vector representing pointing direction of the applied acceleration in the Spacecraft body coordinate frame. This is only used to determine the direction of applied acceleration when a Finite Burn using the "Attitude" system is used to maneuver the Spacecraft. Otherwise, the FiniteBurn or ImpulsiveBurn object specifies the direction of the maneuver.

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.
