Other Facts:

Any number and combination of objects can be displayed.

The epoch of the view is set using the epoch of the first Spacecraft in the list.

A CelestialObject must be listed before any spacecraft that references it.

The sun, stars, planets, and moon are shown in the background of a 3D view by default.

oThe positions of these bodies are determined by the planetary ephemeris defined in your User Preferences.

The texture shown on the Earth's surface, and other visualization properties, can be changed through your User Preferences.

A ViewWindow object can be used in place of a View command.

oViewWindows can display different types of Viewpoints.

oViewWindows can be updated using the Update command at any point in the Mission Sequence.

In millisecond timing precision mode only, the deprecated "as Global" syntax can be used to update the View when any spacecraft is Stepped or Maneuvered.

oNote that the "as Global" option is scoped to the control statement it was called in. That is to say, when the "as Global" option is used inside of an If block, While loop, or For loop, all steps inside of the control statement will automatically be displayed; any steps taken outside of the control statement will NOT be displayed.

View mySpacecraft, myGroundStation as Global;
