List of available pre-built software pointing modes that are available for the guidance computer to point in. The modes are various flight software chains and define the 'first-half' of the chain, which are the pointing frame calculations.

public enum SoftwarePointingMode

Fields

GROUND_POINTING = 4

Points the spacecraft towards a ground body located on the surface of a planet.

INERTIAL_POINTING = 0

Points the spacecraft towards a specific inertial hold frame, which is defined in inertial coordinates.

LOCATION_POINTING = 6

Points the spacecraft towards a geodetic location on some planet, that is not specified as a gound station.

NADIR_POINTING = 3

Point the spacecraft towards the orbiting planet.

RELATIVE_POINTING = 5

Points the spacecraft towards another object, such as another spacecraft in orbit.

SUN_POINTING = 1

Points the spacecraft towards the Sun with the Solar Panel as the primary forward vector.

VELOCITY_POINTING = 2

Point the spacecraft along the current orbit about the target body.
