ElementEquinoctial#

class ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.astrogator.ElementEquinoctial#

Bases: IElement

Equinoctial elements.

Overview#

semimajor_axis

Half the length of the major axis of the orbital ellipse. Uses Distance Dimension.

mean_motion

Get or set the average angular rate of the satellite based on 2 body motion. Uses Rate Dimension.

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 Right Ascension of the Ascending Node, Argument of Perigee, and Mean Anomaly. Uses Angle Dimension.

formulation

Retrograde, which has its singularity at an inclination of 0 deg. Posigrade, which has its singularity at an inclination of 180 deg.
