Note – The three following parameters are entered automatically when a target
satellite is selected. These may be changed from the Satellite List.
Current Satellite Inclination should be set to the published value for the Target Satellite. If the
Target Satellite is listed as “Geostationary” and no inclination value is provided, then a value of “0.0”
is usually a good choice. If a successful acquisition is not consistently occurring on the first
Acquisition AZ line scan, then this satellite property should be verified by other means.
