NameDescription
ICRFEarth's attitude expressed with respect to the ICRF frame.
MeanOfDateThe mean equator mean equinox coordinate system evaluated at the requested time.
TrueOfDateThe true equator true equinox coordinate system evaluated at the requested time.
TrueOfEpochThe true equator true equinox coordinate system evaluated at the epoch of the object.
J2000_EclipticThe ecliptic plane (nominally, the plane containing the Earth and Sun) as defined at the J2000 epoch (the ecliptic pole is the mean rotational axis of the Earth at the J2000 Epoch).
TrueEclipticOfDateCoordinate system located at the central body center and aligned with true ecliptic of date coordinate axes.
J2000The mean equator mean equinox coordinate system evaluated at the J2000.0 epoch (2000 January 1.5 = JD 2451545.0 TDB).
