Y (km) = 2.7854661e+08
Z (km) = 1.1975032e+08
Rectangular velocity from inverse mapping:
dX/dt (km/s) = -47.043272

When performing vector calculations with velocities it is usually
most convenient to work in rectangular coordinates. However, once
the vector manipulations have been performed, it is often
desirable to convert the rectangular representations into
planetographic coordinates to gain insights about phenomena in
this coordinate frame.
To transform rectangular velocities to derivatives of coordinates
in a planetographic system, one uses the Jacobian of the
transformation between the two systems.
Given a state in rectangular coordinates
( x, y, z, dx, dy, dz )
the velocity in planetographic coordinates is given by the matrix
equation:
t | t
(dlon, dlat, dalt) = jacobi| * (dx, dy, dz)
|(x,y,z)
This routine computes the matrix
|
jacobi|
|(x, y, z)
The planetographic definition of latitude is identical to the
planetodetic (also called "geodetic" in SPICE documentation)
definition. In the planetographic coordinate system, latitude is
defined using a reference spheroid. The spheroid is
characterized by an equatorial radius and a polar radius. For a
point P on the spheroid, latitude is defined as the angle between
the X-Y plane and the outward surface normal at P. For a point P
off the spheroid, latitude is defined as the latitude of the
nearest point to P on the spheroid. Note if P is an interior
point, for example, if P is at the center of the spheroid, there
may not be a unique nearest point to P.
In the planetographic coordinate system, longitude is defined
using the spin sense of the body. Longitude is positive to the
west if the spin is prograde and positive to the east if the spin
is retrograde. The spin sense is given by the sign of the first
degree term of the time-dependent polynomial for the body's prime
meridian Euler angle "W": the spin is retrograde if this term is
negative and prograde otherwise. For the sun, planets, most
natural satellites, and selected asteroids, the polynomial
expression for W may be found in a SPICE PCK kernel.
The earth, moon, and sun are exceptions: planetographic longitude
is measured positive east for these bodies.
If you wish to override the default sense of positive longitude
for a particular body, you can do so by defining the kernel
variable
BODY<body ID>_PGR_POSITIVE_LON
where <body ID> represents the NAIF ID code of the body. This
variable may be assigned either of the values
'WEST'
'EAST'
For example, you can have this routine treat the longitude
of the earth as increasing to the west using the kernel
variable assignment
BODY399_PGR_POSITIVE_LON = 'WEST'
Normally such assignments are made by placing them in a text
kernel and loading that kernel via cspice_furnsh.
The definition of this kernel variable controls the behavior of
the CSPICE planetographic routines
cspice_pgrrec
cspice_recpgr
cspice_dpgrdr
cspice_drdpgr
It does not affect the other CSPICE coordinate conversion
routines.
1) If the body name `body' cannot be mapped to a NAIF ID code, and
if `body' is not a string representation of an integer, the
error SPICE(IDCODENOTFOUND) is signaled by a routine in the
call tree of this routine.
2) If the kernel variable
BODY<ID code>_PGR_POSITIVE_LON
is present in the kernel pool but has a value other
than one of
'EAST'
'WEST'
the error SPICE(INVALIDOPTION) is signaled by a routine in the
call tree of this routine. Case and blanks are ignored when
these values are interpreted.
3) If polynomial coefficients for the prime meridian of `body' are
not available in the kernel pool, and if the kernel variable
BODY<ID code>_PGR_POSITIVE_LON is not present in the kernel
pool, the error SPICE(MISSINGDATA) is signaled by a routine in
the call tree of this routine.
4) If the equatorial radius is non-positive, the error
SPICE(VALUEOUTOFRANGE) is signaled by a routine in the call
tree of this routine.
5) 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.
6) If the input point is on the z-axis (x = 0 and y = 0), the
Jacobian matrix is undefined, an error is signaled by a
routine in the call tree of this routine.
7) If any of the input arguments, `body', `x', `y', `z', `re' or
`f', is undefined, an error is signaled by the IDL error
handling system.
8) If any of the input arguments, `body', `x', `y', `z', `re' or
`f', is not of the expected type, or it does not have the
expected dimensions and size, an error is signaled by the Icy
interface.
9) If the output argument `jacobi' is not a named variable, an
error is signaled by the Icy interface.
This routine expects a kernel variable giving BODY's prime
meridian angle as a function of time to be available in the
kernel pool. Normally this item is provided by loading a PCK
file. The required kernel variable is named
BODY<body ID>_PM
where <body ID> represents a string containing the NAIF integer
ID code for `body'. For example, if `body' is 'JUPITER', then
the name of the kernel variable containing the prime meridian
angle coefficients is
BODY599_PM
See the PCK Required Reading for details concerning the prime
meridian kernel variable.
The optional kernel variable
BODY<body ID>_PGR_POSITIVE_LON
also is normally defined via loading a text kernel. When this
variable is present in the kernel pool, the prime meridian
coefficients for `body' are not required by this routine. See the
-Particulars section for details.
None.
