32-34 | Nr | unsigned | Nr - altitude of the camera from the Earth's centre, measured in units of the Earth's (equatorial) radius multiplied by a scale factor of 106 (see Note (4)) |

( 1) It is assumed that the satellite is at its nominal position, i.e. it is looking directly at its sub-satellite point.
( 2) Octets 32-34 shall be set to all ones (missing) to indicate the orthographic view (from infinite distance).
( 3) It is the angle between the increasing y-axis and the meridian 180°E if the sub-satellite point is the North Pole; or the meridian 0° if the sub-satellite point is the South Pole.
( 4) The apparent angular size of the Earth will be given by 2 x Arcsin (1/Nr).
( 5) The horizontal and vertical angular resolutions of the sensor (Rx and Ry), needed for navigation equations, can be calculated from the following: Rx = 2 x Arcsin (1/Nr) / dx Ry = 2 x Arcsin (1/Nr) / dy
