ecef_from_orbit(arg_lat, rad, lon_ascend, inc)

Calculates the ECEF position from orbital parameters.

Parameters:

• arg_lat (float) – Argument of latitude in radians

• rad (float) – Orbital radius in meters

• lon_ascend (float) – Longitude of the ascending node in radians

• inc (float) – Orbital inclination angle in radians

Returns:

ECEF position in meters

Return type:

3 x 1 numpy array
