Satellites

A list of satellite names must be provided via inputfileSatelliteList. The other input files are read for each satellite, where the file name is interpreted as a template with the variable {satellite} being replaced by the satellite name from list. The inputfileSatelliteInfo contains information about laser retro-reflector, optical reference point, retro-reflector orientation, range corrections and center of mass. It can be created via PlatformCreate. If inputfileAttitude ist not provided an orbit reference frame (along, cross, nearly nadir) is assumed.
