Facility/Place/Target: Cartesian Position

The position of the object, expressed in Cartesian components, as a function of time. The position can be requested in a variety of coordinate systems. The available coordinate systems depend on the object's central body. Nominally, the systems Fixed, Inertial, J2000, TrueOfDate, and MeanOfDate are supported, although some central bodies (notably the Earth and Sun) have more. The following lists the systems available for Earth.
