Vector.BuildVector(Variable, GroundStation, GroundStation) Method

Top

Description

When vectorType is "Object to Object", the calling Vector will be initialized as the position of groundStation2 with respect to groundStation1 in the ICRF. When two GroundStations are used, the epoch of the Vector is determined from the epoch of the Central Body of groundStation1.

Timing Precision Mode

This page describes functionality in millisecond timing precision mode. Millisecond timing precision mode is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. We recommend that you migrate your Mission Plans to nanosecond timing precision mode.
