Spacecraft.CommZAspectAngle(GroundStation) Method

Top 

Description

Returns the aspect angle between the Spacecraft-to-groundStation vector and the Spacecraft's Z-axis.

 

The CommZAspectAngle method will account for refraction if refraction modeling is turned on using the GroundStation.RefractionModelType property.
