# FollowTargetStatus (UORB message)
**TOPICS:** follow_target_status
## Fields
| Name | Type | Unit [Frame] | Range/Enum | Description |
| --------------------- | ------------ | ------------ | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| timestamp | `uint64` | microseconds | | time since system start |
| tracked_target_course | `float32` | rad | | Tracked target course in NED local frame (North is course zero) |
| follow_angle | `float32` | rad | | Current follow angle setting |
| orbit_angle_setpoint | `float32` | rad | | Current orbit angle setpoint from the smooth trajectory generator |
| angular_rate_setpoint | `float32` | rad/s | | Angular rate commanded from Jerk-limited Orbit Angle trajectory for Orbit Angle |
| desired_position_raw | `float32[3]` | m | | Raw 'idealistic' desired drone position if a drone could teleport from place to places |
| in_emergency_ascent | `bool` | bool | | True when doing emergency ascent (when distance to ground is below safety altitude) |
| gimbal_pitch | `float32` | rad | | Gimbal pitch commanded to track target in the center of the frame |
