Properties

apoapsis: number

Farthest distance (apoapsis: apogee / aphelion), metres.

apoapsisPosition: Vec3

Apoapsis position relative to the parent, metres.

nextApoapsis: number

Next time at or after from the body passes apoapsis, seconds since J2000.

nextPeriapsis: number

Next time at or after from the body passes periapsis, seconds since J2000.

periapsis: number

Closest distance (periapsis: perigee around a planet, perihelion around a star), metres.

periapsisPosition: Vec3

Periapsis position relative to the parent, metres.
