Examples#

Create a New Missile (on the current scenario central body)

# Scenario scenario: Scenario object
missile = scenario.children.new(STKObjectType.MISSILE, "MyMissile")
missile.set_trajectory_type(PropagatorType.BALLISTIC)
trajectory = missile.trajectory
root.units_preferences.set_current_unit("DateFormat", "EpSec")
trajectory.ephemeris_interval.set_explicit_interval(0, 0)  # stop time later computed based on propagation
trajectory.launch.latitude = 29
trajectory.launch.longitude = -81
trajectory.impact_location.impact.latitude = 27
trajectory.impact_location.impact.longitude = -43
trajectory.impact_location.set_launch_control_type(VehicleLaunchControl.FIXED_APOGEE_ALTITUDE)
trajectory.impact_location.launch_control.apogee_altitude = 1200  # km
trajectory.propagate()
