- Method Detail
  - getIcrfAlignedFrame
```
Frame getIcrfAlignedFrame()
```
    Get the body centered ICRF aligned frame. For example, for Earth this would return GCRF.
    
    Returns:
    
    body centered, ICRF aligned frame.

  - getInertiallyOrientedFrame
```
Frame getInertiallyOrientedFrame()
```
    Get an inertially oriented, body centered frame.
    The frame is always bound to the body center, and its axes have a fixed orientation with respect to other inertial frames.
    
    Returns:
    
    an inertially oriented, body centered frame

  - getBodyOrientedFrame
```
Frame getBodyOrientedFrame()
```
    Get a body oriented, body centered frame.
    The frame is always bound to the body center, and its axes have a fixed orientation with respect to the celestial body.
    
    Returns:
    
    a body oriented, body centered frame

  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Get the name of the body.
    
    Returns:
    
    name of the body
  - getGM
```
double getGM()
```
    Get the attraction coefficient of the body.
    
    Returns:
    
    attraction coefficient of the body (m³/s²)
