Name	Description
TrueOfDateRotating	A variation of the Fixed system where pole wander is ignored. The equator is the same as the TrueOfDate equator and the frame spins about the TrueOfDate z-axis.

Name	Dimension	Type	Description
Time	Date	Real Number or Text	Time.
Azimuth	Longitude	Real Number or Text	Dihedral angle between north vector and velocity vector about the detic nadir vector. The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Elevation	Angle	Real Number or Text	Angle between the velocity vector and the local horizontal plane. The velocity vector is the velocity of the object, as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Horiz Rate	Rate	Real Number	Speed in the local horizontal plane, as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Velocity	Rate	Real Number	The magnitude of the velocity vector, as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
