nvector.objects.ECEFvector¶
-
class
ECEFvector
(pvector, frame=None, scalar=None)[source]¶ - 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, scalar=None)[source]¶ x.__init__(…) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature
