Hi Poine,

Thanks for your reply. I had been reading through that document already but I wasn't sure exactly what was meant by the change of reference co-ordinates.

For examle,does phi in the code denote the angle from body to earth, or is phi in the code from earth to body (so we need to take the negative of it to go from body back to earth)?

Avinash.
