Description

The Latitude property is the bodydetic latitude of the Spacecraft sub-satellite point in the Spherical Lat/Long Element Set. It is defined as the angle between the fundamental plane of the Body-Fixed coordinate system of the central body and the vector normal to the central body's surface passing through the satellite's position. This property returns a scalar value.
