epoch
|
|
Description:
|
The TAI epoch of the input and/or output position and velocity in modified Julian date format. If both the input and output coordinate systems are referenced to an epoch, both will be defined using this epoch.
|
fromVector
|
|
Description:
|
A six-element array containing the position and velocity in the input coordinate system.
|
Required Size:
|
At least 6
|
lcsLongitude
|
|
Description:
|
When the 'fromSystem' or 'toSystem' is Local Coordinates - Longitude or Local Coordinates - Longitude/Latitude, this argument defines the longitude of the system. If both the input and output coordinate systems are referenced to a longitude, both will be defined using this longitude.
|
Units:
|
deg
|
Valid Range:
|
-360 ≤ lcsLongitude ≤ 360
|
lcsLatitude
|
|
Description:
|
When the 'fromSystem' or 'toSystem' is Local Coordinates - Longitude/Latitude, this argument defines the latitude of that system.
|
Units:
|
deg
|
Valid Range:
|
-90 ≤ lcsLatitude ≤ 90
|
Return Value
Type:
|
Array of number (size = 6)
|
Returns a six-element array containing the position and velocity in the output coordinate system.
Syntax
myArray1 = PositionVelocityConvert(myVariable1, myVariable2, myTimeSpan1, myArray2, myVariable3, myVariable4);
