            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateDetic.coordinate_system_type`
              - Get or set the coordinate system being used. Note that the Geodetic coordinate type is available only if a Fixed coordinate system is selected.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateDetic.coordinate_system`
              - Get the coordinate system and coordinate epoch. Note that with the Fixed coordinate system (required for the Geodetic coordinate type), the coordinate epoch is preset.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateDetic.size_type`
              - Get or set the element (altitude or radius) used to specify size.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateDetic.size`
              - Get the value of the altitude or radius.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateDetic.latitude`
              - Get or set the angle between the normal to the reference ellipsoid and the equatorial plane. Uses Angle Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateDetic.longitude`
              - Get or set the angle between the projection of the position vector in the equatorial plane and the prime meridian. Uses Angle Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateDetic.latitude_rate`
              - Get or set the rate of change in latitude. Uses AngleRate Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateDetic.longitude_rate`
              - Get or set the rate of change in longitude. Uses AngleRate Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateDetic.supported_coordinate_system_types`
              - Return an array of supported coordinate system types.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateDetic.state_epoch`
              - Smart epoch component allows the user to configure the state epoch explicitly or implicitly (using a pre-defined or custom time instant component).
