Don Cross 281180db24 Use consistent descriptions of EQJ, ECL.
Use consistent wording for these two orientation systems:
EQJ = J2000 mean equator
ECL = J2000 mean ecliptic

rotationEqdEcl

fun rotationEqdEcl(time: Time): RotationMatrix

Calculates a rotation matrix from equatorial of-date (EQD) to J2000 mean ecliptic (ECL).

This is one of the family of functions that returns a rotation matrix for converting from one orientation to another. Source: EQD = equatorial system, using equator of date. Target: ECL = ecliptic system, using equator at J2000 epoch.

Return

A rotation matrix that converts EQD to ECL.

Parameters

time The date and time of the source equator.
