    static final double
    Initial value \nu_0 of the revolving phase \nu at time t_0 corresponding to the scanning-law reference epoch (see parameter :Satellite:Mission_ReferenceEpoch_ScanningLaw_TCB)
    static final double

    static final double
    Value of the inertial scan rate (spin rate) of the satellite around the SRS z-axis, defined - for a given CCD TDI period (and along-scan pixel dimension) and the design-value of the telescope focal length - as the speed with which electrons move through the CCDs in TDI mode
    static final double
    Nominal value of the constant angle between the SRS z-axis and the direction to the nominal Sun (also referred to as solar-aspect angle, SAA, revolving angle, and satellite scan-axis tilt angle)
    static final double
    The number of spin-axis revolutions around the solar direction per Julian year.
