string name { get; } The name of the body, as it appears in e.g. the map view. Same as bodyName field.
Orbit orbit { get; } Contains all information about the body's orbit around whatever other body it is orbiting.
Vector3d position { get; set; } The position of the center of the body in world space.
CelestialBody referenceBody { get; } The celestial body that this one orbits.

Methods

The following are methods included in CelestialBody.

Signature Description
double GetAltitude(Vector3d worldPos) The altitude above sea level of a given world position, in meters.
Bounds getBounds() Collision sphere; larger than body, presumably to account for terrain height, atmospheric height and safety margin.
double GetLatitude(Vector3d worldPos) The latitude of a given world position, in degrees.
double GetLongitude(Vector3d worldPos) The longitude of a given world position, in degrees; value may be > 360 or < 0, you should modulo-reduce to an appropriate range (e.g. -180:180 or 0:360).
string GetName() Same as name property.
Vector3 GetObtVelocity() Infinite loop? (version 0.23.5)
Orbit GetOrbit() Same as orbit.
OrbitDriver GetOrbitDriver() Same as orbitDriver.
Vector3d GetRelSurfacePosition(Vector3d worldPosition) Converts a world position into a body-relative position?
Vector3d GetRelSurfacePosition(double lat, double lon, double alt) Returns position in body-relative coordinates for a given longitude/latitude/altitude. Same as GetSurfaceNVector * (body radius + alt).
Vector3d getRFrmVel(Vector3d worldPos) The reference frame of the planet's surface rotates with respect to an inertial reference frame. For example, a ship landed on the planet's surface is actually moving with respect to an inertial frame, because the planet is rotating. This function gives the difference between a velocity in the rotating frame and the same velocity in the inertial frame. You can use it to convert an inertial frame velocity (like the one returned by Orbit.GetVel()) to a rotating frame velocity by (rotating frame velocity) = (inertial frame velocity) - body.GetRFrmVel(position).
Vector3d GetSrfVelocity() Always returns a zero vector. (as of version 0.23.5)
Vector3d GetSurfaceNVector(double lat, double lon) Returns a unit vector that is normal to the sphere of the planet at the given latitude and longitude. (Tells you which way is "up" at a given point on the planet.)
Transform GetTransform() Same as bodyTransform field
Vector3d GetWorldSurfacePosition(double lat, double lon, double alt) Returns the world position corresponding to a given latitude, longitude, and altitude above sea level.
bool HasChild(CelestialBody body) True if the given body orbits this one. Doesn't seem to need to be a direct orbit—can be something that orbits something that orbits this. Inverse of HasParent.
bool HasParent(CelestialBody body) True if the given body orbits is orbited by this one. Doesn't seem to need to be a direct orbit—can be something that's orbited by something that's orbited by this. Inverse of HasChild.
