Utilities/Axes Transformations

The Besselian Epoch to Julian Epoch block transforms two
3-by-1 vectors of Besselian Epoch position
,
and Besselian Epoch velocity
into Julian Epoch position
,
and Julian Epoch velocity
. The transformation is calculated using:
![]()
where
are defined as:





| Input | Dimension Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| First | 3-by-1 vector | Contains the position in Standard Besselian Epoch (B1950). |
| Second | 3-by-1 vector | Contains the velocity in Standard Besselian Epoch (B1950). |
| Output | Dimension Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| First | 3-by-1 vector | Contains the position in Standard Julian Epoch (J2000). |
| Second | 3-by-1 vector | Contains the velocity in Standard Julian Epoch (J2000). |
