Examples

Set satellite attitude external

# Satellite satellite: Satellite object
if os.name == "nt":
    installPath = r"C:\Program Files\AGI\STK 12"
else:
    installPath = os.environ["STK_INSTALL_DIR"]
satellite.attitude.external.load(
    os.path.join(installPath, "Data", "Resources", "stktraining", "text", "AttitudeTimeEulerAngles_Example.a")
)

Set satellite attitude targeting

# Satellite satellite: Satellite object
attitudePointing = satellite.attitude.pointing
attitudePointing.use_target_pointing = True
attitudePointing.targets.remove_all()
attitudePointing.targets.add("AreaTarget/MyAreaTarget")
attitudePointing.target_times.use_access_times = True

Set satellite attitude basic spinning

# Satellite satellite: Satellite object
basic = satellite.attitude.basic
basic.set_profile_type(AttitudeProfile.SPINNING)
basic.profile.body.assign_xyz(0, 0, 1)
basic.profile.inertial.assign_xyz(0, 1, 0)
basic.profile.rate = 6  # rev/sec
