Description
FreeFlyer has a garbage collector that automatically cleans up memory associated with objects that are no longer being used in your Mission Plan. The GarbageCollector object allows you to enable or disable automatic garbage collection, and perform manual garbage collection if desired.
Users cannot create instances of this type of object. However, users can access instances of this object type that have been created indirectly, for example as children of other objects. Users can also access any static properties and methods on this object type.
