Hi All,

I noticed that LocalOrbitalFrame is deprecated now. Is there a planned
replacement? I think LOF is useful for studying relative motion,
especially comparing one ephemeris for a satellite with another. The
LOF frame transformation causing propagation is not a problem in this
use case because the propagation is just interpolating an ephemeris.
The comment on LOF suggests using SpacecraftState.toTransform() but
that would be based on the satellite's attitude instead of the local
orbital frame.

Best Regards,
Evan
