Orbit Determination Flashcards
1
Q

(hint: euler angles)
A
2
Q
How can one decribe 3D orientation with Euler angles.
A
3
Q
What is theta?
A
4
Q
Other effects that impact rotation that we don’t take into account?
A
precession, nutation, length of day rotations, polar wander
- need to take into account all this to get down to mm or sub-mm rotation levels
