ElementEquinoctial#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.astrogator.ElementEquinoctial#

Bases: IElement

Equinoctial elements.

Overview#

formulation

Retrograde, which has its singularity at an inclination of 0 deg. Posigrade, which has its singularity at an inclination of 180 deg.

h

h/k collectively describe the shape of the satellite’s orbit and the position of perigee. Dimensionless.

k

h/k collectively describe the shape of the satellite’s orbit and the position of perigee. Dimensionless.

mean_longitude

Specify a satellite’s position within its orbit at epoch and equals the sum of the classical Right Ascension of the Ascending Node, Argument of Perigee, and Mean Anomaly. Uses Angle Dimension.

mean_motion

Get or set the average angular rate of the satellite based on 2 body motion. Uses Rate Dimension.

p

p/q collectively describe the orientation of the satellite’s orbit plane. Dimensionless.

q

p/q collectively describe the orientation of the satellite’s orbit plane. Dimensionless.

semimajor_axis

Half the length of the major axis of the orbital ellipse. Uses Distance Dimension.
