PAS_to_RTN

We are using a python script using spiceypy library tools to compute PAS to RTN transformation matrix.

Seelink:software/spice/pas_to_rtn.py[]

  • OBT is computed from SCET coarse time and fine time

  • Epoch is CDF TT2000 computed from SCET, with origin = 2000/01/01 but without spice kernels correction

  • UTC is computed from OBT using spice kernels

  • ET (Ephemeris Time) computed from OBT using spice kernels
