Grid 90: Space view perspective or orthographic

Octets Key Type Content
7-8 Nx unsigned Nx number of points along x-axis (columns)
9-10 Ny unsigned Ny number of points along y-axis (rows or lines)
11-13 latitudeOfSubSatellitePoint signed Lap latitude of sub-satellite point
14-16 longitudeOfSubSatellitePoint signed Lop longitude of sub-satellite point
17 resolutionAndComponentFlags codeflag Resolution and component flags (see Code table 7)
18-20 dx unsigned dx apparent diameter of Earth in grid lengths, in x-direction
21-23 dy unsigned dy apparent diameter of Earth in grid lengths, in y-direction
24-25 Xp unsigned Xp x-coordinate of sub-satellite point
26-27 Yp unsigned Yp y-coordinate of sub-satellite point
28 scanningMode codeflag Scanning mode (flags see Flag/Code table 8)
29-31 orientationOfTheGrid unsigned Orientation of the grid; i.e. the angle in millidegrees between the increasing y-axis and the meridian of the sub-satellite point in the direction of increasing latitude (see Note (3))
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))
35-36 Xo unsigned Xo x-coordinate of origin of sector image
37-38 Yo unsigned Yo y-coordinate of origin of sector image
39-44 Set to zero (reserved)
Notes:

( 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
