Properties

referenceFrame - string

The reference frame in which cartesian positions are specified. Possible values are "FIXED" and "INERTIAL".

Default: FIXED

cartesian - Cartesian3Value

The position specified as a three-dimensional Cartesian value, [X, Y, Z], in meters relative to the referenceFrame.

cartographicRadians - CartographicRadiansValue

The position specified in Cartographic WGS84 coordinates, [Longitude, Latitude, Height], where Longitude and Latitude are in radians and Height is in meters.

Examples:

{
    "position": {
        "cartographicRadians": [ -1.3439035240356338, 0.6457718232379019, 100000 ]
    }
}

cartographicDegrees - CartographicDegreesValue

The position specified in Cartographic WGS84 coordinates, [Longitude, Latitude, Height], where Longitude and Latitude are in degrees and Height is in meters.

Examples:

{
    "position": {
        "cartographicDegrees": [ -77, 37, 100000 ]
    }
}

cartesianVelocity - Cartesian3VelocityValue

The position and velocity specified as a three-dimensional Cartesian value and its derivative, [X, Y, Z, dX, dY, dZ], in meters relative to the referenceFrame.

reference - ReferenceValue

The position specified as a reference to another property.
