Convert ECI to ECEF

[JDragonB]

Hello,

Is it possible to convert ECI coordinates to ECEF from the DLL?

I made a script in PowerShell, the import of the DLL works, the latitude is OK but the longitude does anything and I have curiously always an error of 20 km for the altitude:

$Block = $false
$Streams = Get-Item -LiteralPath "$PSScriptRoot\sgp4\One_Sgp4.dll" -Stream *
$Streams | ForEach-Object {if ($_.Stream -match "Zone.Identifier") {$Block = $true}}
if ($Block) {
    Unblock-File -LiteralPath "$PSScriptRoot\sgp4\One_Sgp4.dll"
    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow -BackgroundColor Red "Un fichier a du être dévérouillé, veuillez redémarrer PowerShell pour la prise en compte"
    }
Add-Type -LiteralPath "$PSScriptRoot\sgp4\One_Sgp4.dll"

# Création d'un objet Satellite
$tleISS = New-Object One_Sgp4.Tle

#Analyse TLE
$tleISS = [One_Sgp4.ParserTLE]::parseTle("1 25544U 98067A   23021.58893016  .00026763  00000-0  47621-3 0  9995","2 25544  51.6443 334.6786 0004827 262.6903 262.3175 15.49939031379055","ISS (ZARYA)")

Write-host -BackgroundColor Black -ForegroundColor Cyan ("Nom du Satellite :    "+$tleISS.getName())
Write-host -BackgroundColor Black -ForegroundColor Cyan ("Numéro du Satellite : "+$tleISS.getSatNumber())

[double]$PI = [Math]::PI
$RayonTerreMin = 6356.752314
$RayonTerreMax = 6378.137
$Maintenant=(Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()
$MaintenantSGP4=[One_Sgp4.EpochTime]::new($Maintenant.Year,$Maintenant.DayOfYear+($Maintenant.Hour/24)+($Maintenant.Minute/1440)+($Maintenant.Second/86400))
$J2000 = [DateTime]'01/01/2000 11:58:55.816'
$Data = [One_Sgp4.SatFunctions]::getSatPositionAtTime($tleISS,$MaintenantSGP4,1)
$ECI_X= $Data.getX()
$ECI_Y= $Data.getY()
$ECI_Z= $Data.getZ()

$Longitude = 180*([Math]::Atan($ECI_Y/$ECI_X))/$PI
$Longitude = $Longitude + 280.46 + 360.9856123035484*(($Maintenant-$J2000).TotalDays) #Pour passer d'une coordonnée ECI à ECEF, il faut ajouter la rotation du temps sidéral par rapport à Greenwich (approximation)  
$Longitude = $Longitude % 360
if ($Longitude -gt 180) {$Longitude -= 360}

$LatitudeRad = [Math]::Atan($ECI_Z/([Math]::Sqrt(([Math]::Pow($ECI_X,2)+[Math]::Pow($ECI_Y,2)))))
$Latitude = ($LatitudeRad/$PI)*180

$RayonTerreP1 = ([Math]::Pow($RayonTerreMax,2))*([Math]::Pow($RayonTerreMax,2))
$RayonTerreP2 = ([Math]::Pow($RayonTerreMax,2))*([Math]::Pow([Math]::Sin($LatitudeRad),2))
$RayonTerreP3 = ([Math]::Pow($RayonTerreMin,2))*([Math]::Pow([Math]::Cos($LatitudeRad),2))
$RayonTerre = [Math]::Sqrt($RayonTerreP1/($RayonTerreP2+$RayonTerreP3))
$Altitude = [Math]::Sqrt([Math]::Pow($ECI_X,2)+[Math]::Pow($ECI_Y,2)+[Math]::Pow($ECI_Z,2)) - $RayonTerre

Write-host -BackgroundColor DarkGray -ForegroundColor yellow "ECI_X:$ECI_X km ECI_Y:$ECI_Y km ECI_Z:$ECI_Z km"

Thanks.

I found my happiness with the function [One_Sgp4.SatFunctions]::calcSatSubPoint :

$SP = [One_Sgp4.SatFunctions]::calcSatSubPoint($MaintenantSGP4,$Data,1)
$SP.getLatitude()
$SP.getLongitude()
$SP.getHeight()

Much easier than redoing the calculations, even if it's fun to do it myself.

Thanks for this DLL.

Very Good,
Converting would be possible in the Library itself. Depending how it will devolope in the future i might implement more features.
