Account for Earth Orientation Parameters #92
Labels
Kind: New feature
This is a proposed new feature
Status: Design
Issue at Design phase of the quality assurance process
Topic: Orbit Determination
High level description
Earth Orientation Parameters (EOPs) are used to describe the orientation of the Earth's axis of rotation with respect to its orbit around the sun. These parameters are necessary for satellite orbit determination and prediction, as well as for precise positioning on the Earth's surface. EOPs include parameters such as the Earth's nutation and polar motion, which are affected by factors such as the Earth's tides and the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun.
This is required for interplanetary orbit determination.

Requirements
Test plans
Design
This is the design section. Each subsection has its own subsection in the quality assurance document.
Algorithm demonstration
If this issue requires a change in an algorithm, it should be described here. This algorithm should be described thoroughly enough to be used as documentation. This section may also simply refer to an algorithm in the literature or in another piece of software that has been validated. The quality of that reference will be determined case by case.
API definition
Define how the Nyx APIs will be affect by this: what are new functions available, do any previous function change their definition, why call these functions by that name, etc.
High level architecture
Document, discuss, and optionally upload design diagram into this section.
Detailed design
The detailed design *will be used in the documentation of how Nyx works.
Feel free to fill out additional QA sections here, but these will typically be determined during the development, including the release in which this issue will be tackled.
