    Interface BodyState

    What a Body is doing at an instant: everything a live map draws and says about it, from one propagation.

    interface BodyState {
        course?: number;
        groundVelocity: GroundVelocity;
        position: Position;
        speed: number;
        sunlit: boolean;
    }
    Index
    course?: number

    The Course: the way its sub-point moves over the ground, in degrees clockwise from north. None for a Geostationary Body, whose sub-point stands still over one point of the equator.

    groundVelocity: GroundVelocity

    How fast the point beneath it moves over the ground, north and east, in kilometres per second at the ellipsoid's surface: the motion a map can carry a marker along between the instants it propagates.

    position: Position
    speed: number

    Its speed along its orbit, in kilometres per second.

    sunlit: boolean

    Whether it is in the Sun's light rather than the Earth's shadow.
