# FigureEightStatus (UORB message)
**TOPICS:** figure_eight_status
## Fields
| Name | Type | Unit [Frame] | Range/Enum | Description |
| ----------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------ | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <a id="fld_timestamp"></a>timestamp | `uint64` | | | time since system start (microseconds) |
| <a id="fld_major_radius"></a>major_radius | `float32` | | | Major axis radius of the figure eight [m]. Positive values orbit clockwise, negative values orbit counter-clockwise. |
| <a id="fld_minor_radius"></a>minor_radius | `float32` | | | Minor axis radius of the figure eight [m]. |
| <a id="fld_orientation"></a>orientation | `float32` | | | Orientation of the major axis of the figure eight [rad]. |
| <a id="fld_frame"></a>frame | `uint8` | | | The coordinate system of the fields: x, y, z. |
| <a id="fld_x"></a>x | `int32` | | | X coordinate of center point. Coordinate system depends on frame field: local = x position in meters _ 1e4, global = latitude in degrees _ 1e7. |
| <a id="fld_y"></a>y | `int32` | | | Y coordinate of center point. Coordinate system depends on frame field: local = y position in meters _ 1e4, global = latitude in degrees _ 1e7. |
| <a id="fld_z"></a>z | `float32` | | | Altitude of center point. Coordinate system depends on frame field. |

uint64 timestamp # time since system start (microseconds)
float32 major_radius # Major axis radius of the figure eight [m]. Positive values orbit clockwise, negative values orbit counter-clockwise.
float32 minor_radius # Minor axis radius of the figure eight [m].
float32 orientation # Orientation of the major axis of the figure eight [rad].
uint8 frame # The coordinate system of the fields: x, y, z.
int32 x # X coordinate of center point. Coordinate system depends on frame field: local = x position in meters * 1e4, global = latitude in degrees * 1e7.
int32 y # Y coordinate of center point. Coordinate system depends on frame field: local = y position in meters * 1e4, global = latitude in degrees * 1e7.
