BeginMissionSequence

BeginMissionSequence — Begin the mission sequence portion of a script

Script Syntax

BeginMissionSequence

Description

The BeginMissionSequence command indicates the end of resource initialization and the beginning of the mission sequence portion of a GMAT script. It must appear once as the first command in the script, and must follow all resource creation lines.

GUI

The BeginMissionSequence command is managed automatically when building mission sequences using the GUI mission tree. However, when editing the GMAT script directly, either with the GMAT script editor or with an external editor, you must insert the BeginMissionSequence command manually.

Remarks

The BeginMissionSequence is a script-only command that is not needed when working from the GUI. It indicates to GMAT that the portion of the script above the command consists of static resource initialization that can be performed in any order, and that the portion below the command consists of mission sequence commands that must be executed sequentially. This and other rules of the scripting language are discussed in detail in the script language reference.

Examples

A minimal GMAT script that propagates a spacecraft:

          Create Spacecraft aSat
Create Propagator aProp

BeginMissionSequence

Propagate aProp(aSat) {aSat.ElapsedDays = 1}
