Interface: OrbitExtents

Defined in: src/astro/body-orbit.ts:34

How far an orbit actually reaches at each end, in metres from the primary's centre.

Properties

apoapsis

readonly apoapsis: number

Defined in: src/astro/body-orbit.ts:40

Furthest recession, in metres — a(1 + e).

---

eccentricity

readonly eccentricity: number

Defined in: src/astro/body-orbit.ts:42

The eccentricity used, which is 0 when the scan wrote none.

---

periapsis

readonly periapsis: number

Defined in: src/astro/body-orbit.ts:38

Closest approach, in metres — a(1 − e).

---

semiMajorAxis

readonly semiMajorAxis: number

Defined in: src/astro/body-orbit.ts:36

The orbit's semi-major axis, in metres — its mean distance, as the scan wrote it.
