AbstractConvert geodetic coordinates to rectangular coordinates. Required_ReadingNone. KeywordsCONVERSION COORDINATES Brief_I/OVARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION -------- --- -------------------------------------------------- lon I Geodetic longitude of point (radians). lat I Geodetic latitude of point (radians). alt I Altitude of point above the reference spheroid. re I Equatorial radius of the reference spheroid. f I Flattening coefficient. rectan O Rectangular coordinates of point. Detailed_Input
lon is the geodetic longitude of the input point. This is
the angle between the prime meridian and the meridian
containing `rectan'. The direction of increasing
longitude is from the +X axis towards the +Y axis.
Longitude is measured in radians. On input, the
range of longitude is unrestricted.
lat is the geodetic latitude of the input point. For a
point P on the reference spheroid, this is the angle
between the XY plane and the outward normal vector at
P. For a point P not on the reference spheroid, the
geodetic latitude is that of the closest point to P on
the spheroid.
Latitude is measured in radians. On input, the
range of latitude is unrestricted.
alt is the altitude of point above the reference spheroid.
`alt' must be in the same units as `re'.
re is the equatorial radius of a reference spheroid. This
spheroid is a volume of revolution: its horizontal
cross sections are circular. The shape of the
spheroid is defined by an equatorial radius `re' and
a polar radius `rp'. `re' must be in the same units
as `alt'.
f is the flattening coefficient = (re-rp) / re, where
`rp' is the polar radius of the spheroid.
Detailed_Output
rectan are the rectangular coordinates of the input point.
The units associated with `rectan' are those associated
with the inputs `alt' and `re'.
ParametersNone. Exceptions
1) If the flattening coefficient is greater than or equal to one,
the error SPICE(VALUEOUTOFRANGE) is signaled by a routine in
the call tree of this routine.
2) If the equatorial radius is less than or equal to zero, the
error SPICE(VALUEOUTOFRANGE) is signaled by a routine in the
call tree of this routine.
FilesNone. ParticularsGiven the geodetic coordinates of a point, and the constants describing the reference spheroid, this routine returns the bodyfixed rectangular coordinates of the point. The bodyfixed rectangular frame is that having the X-axis pass through the 0 degree latitude 0 degree longitude point. The Y-axis passes through the 0 degree latitude 90 degree longitude. The Z-axis passes through the 90 degree latitude point. For some bodies this coordinate system may not be a right-handed coordinate system. Examples
This routine can be used to convert body fixed geodetic
coordinates (such as the used for United States Geological
Survey topographic maps) to bodyfixed rectangular coordinates
such as the Satellite Tracking and Data Network of 1973.
1) Find the rectangular coordinates of the point having Earth
geodetic coordinates:
lon (deg) = 118.0
lat (deg) = 32.0
alt (km) = 0.0
Use the PCK kernel below to load the required triaxial
ellipsoidal shape model and orientation data for the Earth.

When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
platform, the output was:
Geodetic coordinates in deg and km (lon, lat, alt)

Rectangular coordinates in km (x, y, z)
-2595.359123 4881.160589 3170.373523
2) Create a table showing a variety of rectangular coordinates
and the corresponding Earth geodetic coordinates. The
values are computed using the equatorial radius of the Clark
66 spheroid and the Clark 66 flattening factor:
radius: 6378.2064
flattening factor: 1./294.9787
Note: the values shown above may not be current or suitable
for your application.
Corresponding rectangular and geodetic coordinates are
listed to three decimal places. Input angles are in degrees.
