OrbitStateEquinoctial#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateEquinoctial#

Bases: IOrbitState

Equinoctial coordinate type, which uses the center of the Earth as the origin and the plane of the satellite’s orbit as the reference plane.

Overview#

coordinate_system_type

Get or set the coordinate system being used.

coordinate_system

Get the coordinate system and coordinate epoch.

size_shape_type

Get or set the orbit size option can be Mean Motion or Semimajor Axis.

size_shape

Get the value of Mean Motion or Semimajor Axis.

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.

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.

mean_longitude

Specify a satellite’s position within its orbit at epoch and equals the sum of the classical RAAN, Argument of Perigee, and Mean Anomaly. Uses Angle dimension.

formulation

Get or set the Formulation can be Retrograde or Posigrade.

supported_coordinate_system_types

Return an array of supported coordinate system types.

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).
