+#### sat:cycle
+
+The repeat cycle of the satellite. The repeat cycle is the number of orbits required for the satellite to return to the same
+position in its orbit. It is used to determine the relative orbit number. For instance, a satellite with a 16-day repeat cycle
+will have 16 relative orbits.
