Height

The height constraint limits the operation of a sensor to a range of satellite heights over the Earth's ellipsoid.

This constraint is intended mostly for satellites in elliptical orbits, where the sensor operation is typically useful only at low heights. SaVoir will generate swath only within the allowed height boundaries

The following parameters are configurable:

Maximum: Specifies the maximum height over the Earth's ellipsoid. When the satellite is above that height the sensor will not operate. If the value is negative, then it will be ignored, i.e. as if there would be no maximum.
Minimum:Specifies the minimum height over the Earth's ellipsoid. When the satellite is below that height the sensor will not operate. If the value is negative, then it will be ignored, i.e. as if there would be no minimum.
