ClassicalSizeShapeAltitude#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.ClassicalSizeShapeAltitude#

Bases: IClassicalSizeShape

Orbit size and shape using altitude.

Overview#

apogee_altitude

Measured from the ‘surface’ of the Earth to the point of maximum radius in the orbit. For this value, the surface of the Earth is modeled as a sphere whose radius equals the equatorial radius of the Earth. Uses Distance Dimension.

perigee_altitude

Measured from the ‘surface’ of the Earth to the point of minimum radius in the orbit. For this value, the surface of the Earth is modeled as a sphere whose radius equals the equatorial radius of the Earth. Uses Distance Dimension.
