| This numerical designator is based on the numerical sequence in which the United States space surveillance network detects an object. |
| It identifies reporting points either by a reporting point designator or by the code name of the NCA track and the reporting point longitude. |
| The designator directs a laser beam at the target, the laser seeker picks up the reflected light, and the bomb or missile homes in on the illuminated target. |
| A rigid designator designates the same object in all possible worlds in which that object exists and never designates anything else. |
| Thus, without either a legal-status designator or filiation, it must remain uncertain whether he was freeborn or a freed slave. |
| The designator indicates the pace, hilliness, distance and start time. |
