Celestial Rotations
Celestial rotations are the primary way that orientations are defined in the universe.
A rotation defined by an angular velocity.
type (required): velocity
starting_date (optional): The AbsoluteDate of the celestial rotation.
starting_rotation (optional): The Rotation of the celestial rotation at starting_date.
velocity (required): The Vector3D angular velocity in rad/s of the celestial rotation.
A rotation defined by the period.
type (required): period
starting_date (optional): The AbsoluteDate of the celestial rotation.
starting_rotation (optional): The Rotation of the celestial rotation at starting_date.
rotation_axis (required): The Vector3D axis of the celestial rotation.
period_seconds (required): The number of seconds it takes for the celestial rotation to complete a rotation.
A rotation defined by resonance with the orbit period.
type (required): tidal_lock
starting_date (optional): The AbsoluteDate of the celestial rotation.
starting_rotation (optional): The Rotation of the celestial rotation at starting_date.
rotation_axis (optional, defaults to the orbit axis): The Vector3D axis of the celestial rotation.
rotations_per_orbit (required): The number of rotations completed every orbit. Can be less than one.
