Class TEMEProvider

java.lang.Object
  org.orekit.frames.transformations.TEMEProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, TransformProvider

public final class TEMEProvider
extends Object
implements TransformProvider

True Equator Mean Equinox Frame.

This frame is used for the SGP4 model in TLE propagation. This frame has no official definition and there are some ambiguities about whether it should be used as "of date" or "of epoch". This frame should therefore be used only for TLE propagation and not for anything else, as recommended by the CCSDS Orbit Data Message blue book.
