[Orekit Users] Spacecraft Latitude and Longitude



Hey guys,

Does anyone know how to get the true latitude and longitude of a
SpacecraftState?

The documentation page for SpacecraftState says that the method getLv()
returns the true latitude but there's no method for the longitude. However,
the Orbit documentation has the same method but it says that it returns the
true longitude and there's no method for the latitude. Both return the same
value, I assume the documentation for getLv() in SpacecraftState is wrong.

CircularOrbit does have two separate methods getLv() and getAlphaV(), for
longitude and latitude, respectively. Would it be then okay to parse the orbit
from getOrbit() into a CircularOrbit even when it might not be so?

Best regards,
Javier
