Examples

Modify a Planet’s 2D Properties

# Planet planet: Planet object
planet2D = planet.graphics
planet2D.color = Colors.Red
planet2D.inherit = False
planet2D.show_orbit = True
planet2D.show_sub_planet_point = False
planet2D.show_sub_planet_label = False

Create a New Planet

# Scenario scenario: Scenario object
planet = scenario.children.new(STKObjectType.PLANET, "Mars")
planet.common_tasks.set_position_source_central_body("Mars", EphemSourceType.JPL_DEVELOPMENTAL_EPHEMERIS)
