groundTrack
Description
groundTrack(
adds ground track
visualization for each satellite in sat
)sat
based on their current
positions. The ground track begins at the scenario StartTime, and ends at
the StopTime. The spacing
between samples that make up the ground track visualization is determined by the scenario
SampleTime
. If no viewer is
open, a new viewer is launched, and the ground track is displayed. If a viewer is already
open, the ground track is added to that viewer. By default, ground tracks will be displayed
in 2-D.

Examples
Add Ground Track to Satellite in Geosynchronous Orbit
Create a satellite scenario object.
startTime = datetime(2020,5,10);
stopTime = startTime + days(5);
sampleTime = 60; % seconds
sc = satelliteScenario(startTime,stopTime,sampleTime);
Calculate the semimajor axis of the geosynchronous satellite.
earthAngularVelocity = 0.0000729211585530; % rad/s orbitalPeriod = 2*pi/earthAngularVelocity; % seconds earthStandardGravitationalParameter = 398600.4418e9; % m^3/s^2 semiMajorAxis = (earthStandardGravitationalParameter*((orbitalPeriod/(2*pi))^2))^(1/3);
Define the remaining orbital elements of the geosynchronous satellite.
eccentricity = 0; inclination = 60; % degrees rightAscensionOfAscendingNode = 0; % degrees argumentOfPeriapsis = 0; % degrees trueAnomaly = 0; % degrees
Add the geosynchronous satellite to the scenario.
sat = satellite(sc,semiMajorAxis,eccentricity,inclination,rightAscensionOfAscendingNode,... argumentOfPeriapsis,trueAnomaly,"OrbitPropagator","two-body-keplerian","Name","GEO Sat");
Visualize the scenario using the Satellite Scenario Viewer.
v = satelliteScenarioViewer(sc);
Add a ground track of the satellite to the visualization and adjust how much of the future and history of the ground track to display.
leadTime = 2*24*3600; % seconds trailTime = leadTime; gt = groundTrack(sat,"LeadTime",leadTime,"TrailTime",trailTime)
gt = GroundTrack with properties: LeadTime: 172800 TrailTime: 172800 LineWidth: 1 LeadLineColor: [1 1 0.0670] TrailLineColor: [1 1 0.0670] VisibilityMode: 'inherit'
Visualize the satellite movement and its trace on the ground. The satellite covers the area around Japan during one half of the day and Australia during the other half.
play(sc);
Input Arguments
sat
— Satellite
row vector of Satellite
objects
Satellite, specified as a row vector of Satellite
objects.
pltf
— Platform
row vector of Platform
objects
Platform, specified as a row vector of Platform
objects.
Name-Value Arguments
Specify optional pairs of arguments as
Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN
, where Name
is
the argument name and Value
is the corresponding value.
Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the
pairs does not matter.
Example: LeadTime=3600
sets the lead time of the ground track to 3600
seconds upon creation.
Viewer
— Satellite scenario viewer
vector of satelliteScenarioViewer
objects (default) | scalar satelliteScenarioViewer
object | array of satelliteScenarioViewer
objects
Satellite scenario viewer, specified as a scalar, vector, or array of satelliteScenarioViewer
objects. If the AutoSimulate
property of the scenario is false
,
adding a satellite to the scenario disables any previously available timeline and
playback widgets.
LeadTime
— Period of ground track to be visualized
StartTime
to StopTime
or one
orbital period (default) | positive scalar
Period of the ground track to be visualized in the satellite scenario viewer, specified as
'LeadTime'
and a positive
scalar in seconds.
The default value is:
Satellite scenario
StartTime
toStopTime
whenOrbitPropagator
is set to'ephemeris'
Satellite scenario
StartTime
toStopTime
when the orbit is parabolic or hyperbolic andOrbitPropagator
is set to'numerical'
One orbital period, in all other cases.
TrailTime
— Period of ground track history to be visualized
StartTime
to StopTime
(default) | positive scalar
Period of the ground track history to be visualized in Viewer
, specified
as 'TrailTime'
and a positive scalar in
seconds.
The default value is:
Satellite scenario
StartTime
toStopTime
whenOrbitPropagator
is set to'ephemeris'
Satellite scenario
StartTime
toStopTime
when the orbit is parabolic or hyperbolic andOrbitPropagator
is set to'numerical'
One orbital period, in all other cases.
LineWidth
— Visual width of ground track
1
(default) | scalar in the range (0 10]
Visual width of the ground track in pixels, specified as 'LineWidth'
and
a scalar in the range (0 10].
The line width cannot be thinner than the width of a pixel. If you set the line width to a value that is less than the width of a pixel on your system, the line displays as one pixel wide.
LeadLineColor
— Color of future ground track line
[1 0 1]
(default) | RGB triplet | RGB triplet
| string scalar of color name
| character vector of color name
Color of the future ground track line, specified as 'LeadLineColor'
and
an RGB triplet, a hexadecimal color code, a color name, or a short name.
For a custom color, specify an RGB triplet or a hexadecimal color code.
An RGB triplet is a three-element row vector whose elements specify the intensities of the red, green, and blue components of the color. The intensities must be in the range
[0,1]
, for example,[0.4 0.6 0.7]
.A hexadecimal color code is a string scalar or character vector that starts with a hash symbol (
#
) followed by three or six hexadecimal digits, which can range from0
toF
. The values are not case sensitive. Therefore, the color codes"#FF8800"
,"#ff8800"
,"#F80"
, and"#f80"
are equivalent.
Alternatively, you can specify some common colors by name. This table lists the named color options, the equivalent RGB triplets, and hexadecimal color codes.
