Key Features Creating New Vector Geometry Tool Components. The Vector Geometry Tool panel lists components of points, systems, axes, vectors, angles, points, and planes under each of the STK scenario objects. The tool contains over 50 pre-configured vectors and axes and axes. Users can create new items as combinations of components from any object in the scenario, enabling the solution of multiple geometric constraint problems. Multiple definition methods and external files and plug-in scripts can be used to create new vectors, axes and angles. Reporting, Graphing and Data-Displays. New vectors, axes, angles, points and planes are automatically included in the STK Data Provider Tree. Information includes position, magnitude, direction angles, and time derivative, and can be reported in any of the defined axes. Vehicle and sensor attitude "Body Orientation" can be reported in any of the existing or user defined coordinate axes. STK/Advanced VO View from/to definitions. Vectors and axes elements are used in the VO set view position and direction panel. Views can be set to align with any vector or axes element, and specified to be in the inward or outward direction. The vertical alignment of the scene with the VO window can be chosen from any of the user-defined axes. Systems analysis situational awareness. Utilize STK/VO as a systems analysis companion by incorporating vectors, axes, and angles, and vector and axis based viewing. This capability represents a means to more quickly understand design conditions, allowing the system engineer to get to the next iteration more quickly, understand results of heritage system tools more quickly and thoroughly, and resolve results in seconds. Satellite launch window analysis. Analyze system design constraints based on satellite body axes orientation at specific mission times against vectors (i.e. Sun, Moon, ground station, …) to define launch window. Constraint angle analysis. Determine Sun angle to any plane or normal vector. Derive time based angle data to drive power and thermal analysis. Analyze mean orbit, vehicle position and attitude for mission design. New attitude and sensor pointing definitions. Use vectors as the basis for new aligned and constrained attitude definitions. Point sensors based on new coordinate system definitions. Perform transformations between target body based coordinates and sensor body based frames.
