AbstractConvert planetocentric latitude and longitude of a surface point on a specified body to rectangular coordinates. Required_ReadingKERNEL NAIF_IDS KeywordsCONVERSION COORDINATES TRANSFORMATION Brief_I/OVARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION -------- --- -------------------------------------------------- body I NAIF integer code of an extended body. lon I Longitude of point in radians. lat I Latitude of point in radians. rectan O Rectangular coordinates of the point. Detailed_Input
body is the NAIF integer code of an extended body on which
a surface point of interest is located. The body is
modeled as a triaxial ellipsoid.
lon is the longitude of the input point. This is the
angle between the prime meridian and the meridian
containing the point. 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 latitude of the input point. This is the angle
from the XY plane of the ray from the origin through
the point.
Latitude is measured in radians. On input, the range
of latitude is unrestricted.
Detailed_Output
rectan are the rectangular coordinates of the input surface point.
`rectan' is a 3-vector.
Units are the same as those used to define the radii of
`body'. Normally, these units are km.
ParametersNone. Exceptions
1) If radii for `body' are not found in the kernel pool, an error
is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.
2) If the size of the `body' body radii kernel variable is not
three, an error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of
this routine.
3) If any of the three `body' body radii is less-than or equal to
zero, an error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of
this routine.
FilesNone. Particulars
This routine returns the rectangular coordinates of a surface
point on an extended body with known radii, where the location
of the surface point is specified in planetocentric latitudinal
coordinates.
Latitudinal coordinates are defined by a distance from a central
reference point, an angle from a reference meridian, and an angle
above the equator of a sphere centered at the central reference
point. In this case, the distance from the central reference
point is not required as an input because the fact that the
point is on the body's surface allows one to deduce this quantity.
Below are two tables that demonstrate by example the relationship
between rectangular and latitudinal coordinates.
Listed in the first table (under R, `lon' and `lat') are
latitudinal coordinate triples that approximately represent
points whose rectangular coordinates are taken from the set
{-1, 0, 1}. (Angular quantities are given in degrees.)

This routine is related to the CSPICE routine latrec_c, which
accepts a radius, longitude, and latitude as inputs and produces
equivalent rectangular coordinates as outputs.
Examples
The numerical results shown for this example 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) Find the rectangular coordinates of the point
100 degrees planetocentric longitude
-35 degrees planetocentric latitude
on the Earth; then convert these coordinates back to
latitudinal coordinates. We should be able to recover
our original longitude and latitude values.
Use the PCK kernel below to load the required triaxial
ellipsoidal shape model and orientation data for the Earth.
pck00008.tpc
Example code begins here.
/.
Program srfrec_ex1
./
#include <stdio.h>
#include "SpiceUsr.h"
int main()
{
#define EARTH 399
SpiceDouble lat;
SpiceDouble lon;
SpiceDouble x [3];
SpiceDouble radius;
/.
Load the kernel pool with a PCK file that contains
values for the radii of the Earth.
./
furnsh_c ( "pck00008.tpc" );
/.
Find `x', the rectangular coordinates of the surface point
defined by `lat' and `long'. The NAIF integer code for
the Earth is 399. (See the NAIF_IDS required reading file
for the complete set of codes.)
./
lon = 100.0;
lat = -35.0;
printf ( "Original latitudinal coordinates\n"
"\n"
" Longitude (deg) = %f\n"
" Latitude (deg) = %f\n",
lon,
lat );
/.
Convert angles to radians forr input to srfrec_c.
./
srfrec_c ( EARTH, lon*rpd_c(), lat*rpd_c(), x );
printf ( "\n"
"Rectangular coordinates\n"
"\n"
" X (km) = %f\n"
" Y (km) = %f\n"
" Z (km) = %f\n",
x[0],
x[1],
x[2] );
/.
Now try to recover the original latitudinal coordinates
from the rectangular coordinates found by srfrec_c.
./
reclat_c ( x, &radius, &lon, &lat );
/.
Convert angles back to degree for display.
./
printf ( "\n"
"Latitudinal coordinates recovered from "
"rectangular coordinates\n"
"\n"
" Longitude (deg) = %f\n"
" Latitude (deg) = %f\n"
" Radius (km) = %f\n",
lon * dpr_c(),
lat * dpr_c(),
radius );
return ( 0 );
}
When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
platform, the output was:
Original latitudinal coordinates
Longitude (deg) = 100.000000
Latitude (deg) = -35.000000
Rectangular coordinates
X (km) = -906.249429
Y (km) = 5139.595909
Z (km) = -3654.300840
Latitudinal coordinates recovered from rectangular coordinates
Longitude (deg) = 100.000000
Latitude (deg) = -35.000000
Radius (km) = 6371.079089
Restrictions
1) A PCK text kernel containing the body radius definitions
required by this routine must be loaded into the kernel
pool prior to any calls to this routine.
