ElementGeodetic#

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

Geodetic elements.

Overview#

Properties

`latitude`	Measured in degrees from -90.0 deg to +90.0 deg. The geodetic latitude of a point is the angle between the normal to the reference ellipsoid and the equatorial plane. Uses Angle Dimension.
`longitude`	Measured in degrees from -360.0 deg to +360.0 deg. The longitude of a point is the angle between the projection of the position vector in the equatorial plane and the prime meridian. Uses Angle Dimension.
`altitude`	Measured along an outward normal to the surface of the ellipsoid. Uses Distance Dimension.
`radius_magnitude`	Measured from the center of the Earth. Specified as distance above or below the reference ellipsoid. Uses Distance Dimension.
`latitude_rate`	Get or set the rate of change of the satellite’s latitude. Uses Rate Dimension.
`longitude_rate`	Get or set the rate of change of the satellite’s longitude. Uses Rate Dimension.
`altitude_rate`	Get or set the rate of change of the altitude. Uses Rate Dimension.
`radius_rate`	Get or set the rate of change of the radius. Uses Rate Dimension.
