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.
