TCGScale (OREKIT 13.0-SNAPSHOT API)

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

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, TimeScale
```
public class TCGScale
extends Object
implements TimeScale
```
Geocentric Coordinate Time.
Coordinate time at the center of mass of the Earth. This time scale depends linearly from Terrestrial Time.

This is intended to be accessed thanks to TimeScales, so there is no public constructor.
