TCBScale (ORbit Extrapolation KIT 9.3 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.orekit.time.TCBScale

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, TimeScale
```
public class TCBScale
extends Object
implements TimeScale
```
Barycentric Coordinate Time.
Coordinate time at the center of mass of the Solar System. This time scale depends linearly from Barycentric Dynamical Time.

This is intended to be accessed thanks to the TimeScalesFactory class, so there is no public constructor.
