What is an E file?
An .E file is a STK Ephemeris Format Data file.
Ephemeris files, used by the System Tool Kit (STK) software to analyze and visualize spacetime events, provide a predicted path of movement for an astronomical object (such as a planet, moon, or satellite) over a specific period.
STK utilizes precise ephemeris data to predict the speed and location of objects in space, taking into account the gravitational impacts of other celestial bodies and other elements that can impact their movement. This information can be applied for a variety of purposes, like mission planning and assessment, satellite monitoring, and navigating from one place to another in the sky.
The STK Ephemeris Format is an STK-specific file structure used to store ephemeris data. It features a text format composed of multiple records, each representing the position and velocity of one object at any specific point in time. Additionally, the header section in this format contains information regarding the details and duration of the data as well as positional and velocity values across all objects in said timeline.
