Satellite: Velocity Projected Covariance: VVLH(Earth)

Vehicle Vertical Local Horizontal using position and velocity measured in an Earth centered inertial reference frame. The Z axis is inward along the radial, the Y axis is in the direction of the cross product of the velocity as measured in the central body inertial frame and the position and Y axis is in the direction of motion and constructed as Y x Z.
