Syntax
Description
Examples
Create a satellite scenario object and set the AutoSimulate property to false to enable manual simulation of the satellite scenario.
sc = satelliteScenario('AutoSimulate',false);Add a GPS satellite constellation to the scenario.
sat = satellite(sc,"gpsAlmanac.txt");Simulate the scenario using the advance function.
while advance(sc) end
Obtain the satellite position histories.
p = states(sat);
AutoSimulate is false, so restart the scenario before adding a ground station.
restart(sc);
Add a ground station to the scenario.
gs = groundStation(sc);
Add access analysis between each satellite and ground station.
ac = access(sat,gs);
Simulate the scenario and determine the access intervals.
while advance(sc) end intvls1 = accessIntervals(ac)

Input Arguments
Satellite scenario, specified as a satelliteScenario
object. The argument applies only if the AutoSimulate property of the sc object is
false.
The timeline and playback widgets on the open satellite scenario viewers that were
previously made available after calling the play function become
unavailable for interaction.
