Expand description
The launch frame, the body frame and launch attitude angles.
docs/physics/frames.md is the specification; this module implements it.
- Launch frame
L: East-North-Up at the launch site. Origin at the pad on the ground;x_Least,y_Lnorth,z_Lup along the ellipsoid normal. SeeLaunchFrame. - Body frame
B:z_Balong the rocket’s axis of symmetry, positive toward the nose;x_Balong the design’s reference radial direction;y_B = z_B × x_B. - Attitude: the unit quaternion
qwithv_L = q ⊗ v_B ⊗ q*(crate::attitude). - Launch angles: azimuth
A(clockwise from true north), elevationE(above the horizon) and rollφ(aboutz_B), withq = R_z(−A) R_x(E − π/2) R_z(φ). SeeLaunchAngles.

- Launch
Angles - The attitude of the body axis relative to the launch frame, as launch-rail style angles.
- Launch
Frame - An East-North-Up frame tied to a point on an ellipsoid: the launch frame
