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