eci2ecf
MATLAB
G = eci2ecf(Geci)
[R, V] = eci2ecf(TALO,Reci,[Veci],[eRate])
Description

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

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

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