Access Properties

Access properties provide additional information about satellite-location access windows.

Overview

When computing access between satellites and ground locations, you can extract various properties for each access window such as:

  • Maximum elevation angle
  • Azimuth and elevation at specific times
  • Range and range rate
  • Local time of access

Property Types

Properties can be computed at different points during an access window:

  • At access start: Initial conditions when satellite becomes visible
  • At maximum elevation: Conditions at the peak of the pass
  • At access end: Final conditions when satellite is no longer visible
