class pyinterp.Orbit(height: float, latitude: NDArray, longitude: NDArray, pass_time: NDArrayTimeDelta, time: NDArrayTimeDelta, x_al: NDArray, wgs: geodetic.Spheroid | None)

Bases: object

Properties of the orbit.

Parameters:

• height – Height of the satellite (in meters).

• latitude – Latitudes (in degrees).

• longitude – Longitudes (in degrees).

• pass_time – Start date of half-orbits.

• time – Time elapsed since the beginning of the orbit.

• x_al – Along track distance (in meters).

• wgs – World Geodetic System used.
