Add Satellites to Scenario Using Keplerian Elements

Create a satellite scenario with a start time of 02-June-2020 8:23:00 AM UTC, and the stop time set to one day later. Set the simulation sample time to 60 seconds.

startTime = datetime(2020,6,02,8,23,0);
stopTime = startTime + days(1);
sampleTime = 60;
sc = satelliteScenario(startTime,stopTime,sampleTime);

Add two satellites to the scenario using their Keplerian elements.

semiMajorAxis = [10000000;15000000];
eccentricity = [0.01;0.02];
inclination = [0;10];
rightAscensionOfAscendingNode = [0;15];
argumentOfPeriapsis = [0;30];
trueAnomaly = [0;20];

sat = satellite(sc,semiMajorAxis,eccentricity,inclination, ...
    rightAscensionOfAscendingNode,argumentOfPeriapsis,trueAnomaly)

sat = 
  1x2 Satellite array with properties:

    Name
    ID
    ConicalSensors
    Gimbals
    Transmitters
    Receivers
    Accesses
    GroundTrack
    Orbit
    OrbitPropagator
    MarkerColor
    MarkerSize

    LabelFontSize

View the satellites in orbit and the ground tracks over one hour.

show(sat)
groundTrack(sat,LeadTime=3600)

ans=1×2 object
  1×2 GroundTrack array with properties:

    LeadTime
    TrailTime
    LineWidth
    LeadLineColor
    TrailLineColor
    VisibilityMode

Play the scenario and set the animation speed of the simulation to 40.

play(sc,PlaybackSpeedMultiplier=40)

Input Arguments

item — Item

Satellite object | GroundStation object | ConicalSensor object | GroundTrack object | FieldofView object | Access object | Link object

The item, specified as a Satellite, GroundStation, ConicalSensors, GroundTrack, FieldOfView, Access, or Link object. These objects must belong to the same satelliteScenario object.

Note

If item is a satellite or a ground station, then the associated transmitters, receivers and gimbals are also displayed on the viewer.

viewer — Satellite scenario viewer

row vector of all satelliteScenarioViewer objects (default) | scalar satelliteScenarioViewer object | array of satelliteScenarioViewer objects

Satellite scenario viewer, specified as a scalar, vector, or array of satelliteScenarioViewer (Aerospace Toolbox) objects.
