VisibilitySegment.Azimuth(Variable) Method

Top

Description

Calculates the azimuth from the X-axis of the target with respect to the observer. The angle is referenced to the X-Y plane of the observer's body frame and ranges from 0 to 360 degrees. If the the observer is a GroundStation, the azimuth is measured from the Y-axis in the ENU frame and increases in the opposite direction.

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.
