Procedure
dvcrss_c ( Derivative of Vector cross product )
void dvcrss_c ( ConstSpiceDouble s1 [6],
ConstSpiceDouble s2 [6],
SpiceDouble sout[6] )
AbstractCompute the cross product of two 3-dimensional vectors and the derivative of this cross product. Required_ReadingNone. KeywordsDERIVATIVE VECTOR Brief_I/OVARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION -------- --- -------------------------------------------------- s1 I Left hand state for cross product and derivative. s2 I Right hand state for cross product and derivative. sout O State associated with cross product of positions. Detailed_Input
s1 is any state vector. Typically, this might represent the
apparent state of a planet or the Sun, which defines the
orientation of axes of some coordinate system.
s2 is any state vector.
Detailed_Output
sout is the state associated with the cross product of the
position components of `s1' and `s2'. In other words, if
`s1' = (p1,v1) and `s2' = (p2,v2) then `sout' is
( p1xp2, d/dt( p1xp2 ) ).
ParametersNone. Exceptions
Error free.
1) If `s1' and `s2' are large in magnitude (taken together,
their magnitude surpasses the limit allowed by the
computer) then it may be possible to generate a
floating point overflow from an intermediate
computation even though the actual cross product and
derivative may be well within the range of double
precision numbers.
dvcrss_c does NOT check the magnitude of `s1' or `s2' to
insure that overflow will not occur.
FilesNone. Particularsdvcrss_c calculates the three-dimensional cross product of two vectors and the derivative of that cross product according to the definition. The components of this state are stored in a local buffer vector until the calculation is complete. Thus sout may overwrite 's1' or 's2' without interfering with intermediate computations. Examples
The numerical results shown for these examples may differ across
platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
specific arithmetic implementation.
1) Compute the cross product of two 3-dimensional vectors
and the derivative of this cross product.
Example code begins here.

./
#include <stdio.h>
#include "SpiceUsr.h"
int main( )
{

Local variables
./
SpiceDouble sout [6];
SpiceInt i;
/.
Set `s1' and `s2' vectors.
./
SpiceDouble s1 [2][6] = {
{0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0},
{5.0, 5.0, 5.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0} };
SpiceDouble s2 [2][6] = {
{ 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0},
{-1.0, -1.0, -1.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0} };
/.
For each vector `s1' and `s2', compute their cross product
and its derivative.
./
for ( i = 0; i < 2; i++ )
{
dvcrss_c ( s1[i], s2[i], sout );
printf( "S1 : %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f\n",
s1[i][0], s1[i][1], s1[i][2],
s1[i][3], s1[i][4], s1[i][5] );
printf( "S2 : %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f\n",
s2[i][0], s2[i][1], s2[i][2],
s2[i][3], s2[i][4], s2[i][5] );
printf( "SOUT: %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f %6.1f\n",
sout[0], sout[1], sout[2],
sout[3], sout[4], sout[5] );
printf( "\n" );
}
return ( 0 );
}
When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
platform, the output was:
S1 : 0.0 1.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0
S2 : 1.0 0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0
SOUT: 0.0 0.0 -1.0 0.0 0.0 -1.0
S1 : 5.0 5.0 5.0 1.0 0.0 0.0
S2 : -1.0 -1.0 -1.0 2.0 0.0 0.0
SOUT: 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 11.0 -11.0
2) One can construct non-inertial coordinate frames from apparent
positions of objects or defined directions. However, if one
wants to convert states in this non-inertial frame to states
in an inertial reference frame, the derivatives of the axes of
the non-inertial frame are required.
Define a reference frame with the apparent direction of the
Sun as seen from Earth as the primary axis X. Use the Earth
pole vector to define with the primary axis the XY plane of
the frame, with the primary axis Y pointing in the direction
of the pole.
Use the meta-kernel shown below to load the required SPICE
kernels.

This meta-kernel is intended to support operation of SPICE
example programs. The kernels shown here should not be
assumed to contain adequate or correct versions of data
required by SPICE-based user applications.
In order for an application to use this meta-kernel, the
kernels referenced here must be present in the user's
current working directory.
The names and contents of the kernels referenced
by this meta-kernel are as follows:
