Coordinates

The coordiantes module provides functionatiy for transforming between various body-fixed reference frame coordinate systems. In particular, geodetic and geocentric transformations are included. Topocentric transformations are also included.

SatelliteDynamics.sGEOCtoECEF — Function

Convert geocentric position to equivalent Earth-fixed position.

Arguments:

  • geoc::Array{<:Real, 1}: Geocentric coordinates (lon, lat, altitude) [rad] / [deg]
