EclipticProvider (ORbit Extrapolation KIT 9.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.orekit.frames.EclipticProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, TransformProvider
```
public class EclipticProvider
extends Object
implements TransformProvider
```
An inertial frame aligned with the ecliptic.
The IAU defines the ecliptic as "the plane perpendicular to the mean heliocentric orbital angular momentum vector of the Earth-Moon barycentre in the BCRS (IAU 2006 Resolution B1)." The +z axis is aligned with the angular momentum vector, and the +x axis is aligned with +x axis of MOD.

This implementation agrees with the JPL 406 ephemerides to within 0.5 arc seconds.

Since:

7.0
