How to Transform Angular Velocity Vector of a Satellite from ECI to LVLH System?

Click For Summary
To transform the angular velocity vector of a satellite from the Earth Centered Inertial (ECI) coordinate system to the Local Vertical Local Horizontal (LVLH) system, one must use the appropriate transformation matrix that accounts for the satellite's position and orientation. The transformation involves calculating the satellite's position vector in ECI and then applying the rotation to convert it to the LVLH frame. It is important to understand the relationship between the two coordinate systems, particularly how the LVLH frame is defined relative to the satellite's trajectory. For detailed guidance, consulting resources on orbital mechanics or seeking assistance in the Homework section of the forum may be beneficial. Mastering this transformation is crucial for accurate satellite navigation and control.

Hi..
I am new to this forum and not sure whether this is the right place to ask for a help.
I have to transform angular velocity vector of a satellite from Earth Centered Inertial (ECI) coordinate system to Local Vertical Local Horizontal(LVLH) system. How can I do that..? Any help appreciated..

The right place would be the Homework section.

And sorry, I do not know how to do the transformation.
 

Thread 'Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients (LFBOTs)'

UC Berkely, December 16, 2025 https://news.berkeley.edu/2025/12/16/whats-powering-these-mysterious-bright-blue-cosmic-flashes-astronomers-find-a-clue/ AT 2024wpp, a luminous fast blue optical transient, or LFBOT, is the bright blue spot at the upper right edge of its host galaxy, which is 1.1 billion light-years from Earth in (or near) a galaxy far, far away. Such objects are very bright (obiously) and very energetic. The article indicates that AT 2024wpp had a peak luminosity of 2-4 x...
