OrbitStateSpherical#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.OrbitStateSpherical#

Bases: IOrbitState

Spherical coordinate type: defines the path of an orbit using polar coordinates.

Overview#

Properties

`coordinate_system_type`	Get or set the coordinate system being used.
`coordinate_system`	Get the coordinate system and coordinate epoch.
`right_ascension`	Get or set the angle from the X axis to the projection of the satellite position vector in the equatorial plane measured as positive in the direction of the Y axis. Uses Angle Dimension.
`declination`	Get or set the angle between the satellite position vector and the inertial equatorial plane measured as positive toward the positive inertial Z axis. Uses Angle Dimension.
`radius`	Get or set the magnitude of the satellite position vector. Uses Distance Dimension.
`flight_path_angle_type`	Get or set the Flight Path Angle type can be Vertical or Horizontal.
`flight_path_angle`	Get the value of the Vertical or Horizontal Flight Path Angle.
`azimuth`	Get or set the angle in the satellite local horizontal plane between the projection of the velocity vector onto this plane and the local north direction measured as positive in the clockwise direction. Uses Angle Dimension.
`velocity`	Get or set the magnitude of the velocity vector. Uses Rate Dimension.
`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).
