    Undergrad Calculating Earth's Orientation and Moon's Position at J2000.0

    I could just convert from UT to TT with a simple conversion equation, can't I? I don't think accuracy is imperative, as long as its accurate too within a degree I should be fine.

    Undergrad Calculating Earth's Orientation and Moon's Position at J2000.0

    Hi there, I am making a very basic model of an earth, moon, sun system in ECEF in C# using the Helix Toolkit and in order to begin transformations according to Earth's rotation, tilt, and orbit, I need a reference orientation/position/time of Earth with respect to the sun and moon. So my...

    Undergrad C# Accurate Earth, Moon Sun visual model to predict eclipses

    Hello all! I am trying to make a VISUAL model (in C#) to predict lunar and Earth eclipse periods for a satellite that I have accurate ephemeris for. I want to calculate everything in ECEF reference frame. How would a go about modeling this system to the accuracy I'm interested in? I assume I...

    Undergrad Gravity Propagation: How Does Time Affect Orbital Modeling?

    I was thinking about the idea of looking up at a particular minuscule spot in the sky to see a particular planet at a very precise time, say, with a telescope. I was considering how light takes a matter of minutes to reach us. But then, remembering that gravitational forces must travel through...
