CoordinateSystem

CoordinateSystem

CoordinateSystem classes are currently used to define an OrbitalState class, and have two possible types: equatorial and ecliptic.

Static Methods

CoordinateSystem Equatorial()

Constructs a CoordinateSystem object based on the equatorial coordinate system. The central body’s equatorial plane defines the X and Y axes in a right-handed rectangular system.

CoordinateSystem Ecliptic()

Constructs a CoordinateSystem object based on ecliptic coordinate system. This coordinate system is defined by an origin at the center of the central body, and a plane consisting of the projection of the Sun’s apparent path onto the celestial sphere.
