ecf2eci
MATLAB
G = ecf2eci(Gecf,[eRate])
[R, V] = ecf2eci(TALO,Recf,[Vecf],[eRate])
Description

Converts coordinate frame from earth-centered fixed (ECF), in which the coordinate frame is fixed to the rotating earth, to earth-centered inertial (ECI), in which the coordinate frame is fixed at a specific time.

Parameters
Parameters 
Description 
Gecf [struct] 
ECF geometry structure or comma separated list of (TALO,Recf,[Vecf],...) 
TALO [vector] 
Column vector (Nx1) of the sample times (sec) 
Recf [Nx3 matrix] 
N 3-element ECF position vectors (m) 
Vecf [Nx3 matrix] 
(Optional) N 3-element ECF velocity vectors (m/s) 
eRate [scalar] 
(Optional) Earth rotation rate (rad/s). Must pass in Vecf (can be []) to specify earth rotation rate.

Description 
G [struct] 
If Gecf is a structure, the output G will be a structure with position and velocity vectors in ECI coordinates. 
R [Nx3 matrix] 
ECI position vectors (m) 
V [Nx3 matrix] 
ECI velocity vectors (m/s)
