Position angle of aperture used (deg)

Position angle of aperture used with target (deg). The S&OC Project Reference Database (S&OC PRD) definition of an aperture includes a reference position in the V2-V3 frame. The position angle of the aperture reference position is calculated from the position angle of the V3 axis and S&OC PRD defined translations from V2-V3 to aperture reference frames.
