nvector.objects.ECEFvector

class ECEFvector(pvector, frame=None)

Geographical position given as Cartesian position vector in frame E

Parameters:

pvector: 3 x n array

Cartesian position vector(s) [m] from E to B, decomposed in E.

frame: FrameE object

reference ellipsoid. The default ellipsoid model used is WGS84, but other ellipsoids/spheres might be specified.

Notes

The position of B (typically body) relative to E (typically Earth) is given into this function as p-vector, p_EB_E relative to the center of the frame.

__init__(self, pvector, frame=None)

x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature
