Defined in	control.proto

PassPredictionResponse lists the passes found for a PassPredictionRequest. Failures arrive as Error.

Definition

message PassPredictionResponse {
  reserved 4;
  int64 request_id = 1;
  bytes satellite_id = 2;
  repeated Pass passes = 3;
}

Fields

#	Field	Type	Description
1	request_id	int64	The request this answers.
2	satellite_id	bytes	The satellite.
3	passes	repeated Pass	Passes in time order. Passes that overlap the window are clipped to it.

Field number 4 is reserved; do not use it.

Pass

message Pass {
  int64 aos_ms = 1;
  int64 tca_ms = 2;
  int64 los_ms = 3;
  double max_elevation_deg = 4;
  double aos_azimuth_deg = 5;
  double los_azimuth_deg = 6;
  double max_doppler_hz = 7;
}

#	Field	Type	Description
1	aos_ms	int64	Acquisition of signal: elevation rises through the threshold, Unix ms.
2	tca_ms	int64	Time of closest approach (highest elevation), Unix ms.
3	los_ms	int64	Loss of signal, Unix ms.
4	max_elevation_deg	double	Highest elevation, degrees.
5	aos_azimuth_deg	double	Azimuth at AOS, degrees from north through east.
6	los_azimuth_deg	double	Azimuth at LOS, degrees.
7	max_doppler_hz	double	Largest absolute Doppler shift between AOS and LOS at frequency_hz, Hz, ≥ 0. 0 when no frequency was given.
