Convert a planetodetic position to/from a planetocentric position.

Syntax

Convert <ScenarioPath> CBPosition {Planetodetic | Planetocentric} {CentralBodyName} <Latitude> <Longitude> {<Altitude> | <Radius>}

Description

If Planetodetic is entered then <Altitude> must be entered and LLR will be returned. If Planetocetic is entered then <Radius> must be entered and LLA will be returned.

<Latitude> and <Longitude> are entered/returned in degrees. <Altitude> and <Radius> are entered/returned in Connect distance units.

Note: <Latitude> and <Longitude> are measured with reference to the planet fixed frame.
