Class GTODProvider

java.lang.Object

fr.cnes.sirius.patrius.frames.transformations.GTODProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

TransformProvider, Serializable

public final class GTODProvider
extends Object
implements TransformProvider

Greenwich True Of Date Frame, also known as True of Date Rotating frame (TDR) or Greenwich Rotating Coordinate frame (GCR).

This frame handles the sidereal time according to IAU-82 model.

Its parent frame is the TODProvider.

The pole motion is not applied here.
