Jackson ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- MODIFICATION HISTORY: DATE PURPOSE BY 930208 Modified to avoid singularity near polar region. EBJ 930602 Moved backwards calcs here from ls_step. EBJ 931214 Changed erroneous Latitude and Altitude variables to *lat_geod and *alt in routine ls_geoc_to_geod. EBJ 940111 Changed header files from old ls_eom.h style to ls_types, and ls_constants. Also replaced old DATA type with new SCALAR type. EBJ CURRENT RCS HEADER: $Header$ * Revision 1.5 1994/01/11 18:47:05 bjax * Changed include files to use types and constants, not ls_eom.h * Also changed DATA type to SCALAR type. * * Revision 1.4 1993/12/14 21:06:47 bjax * Removed global variable references Altitude and Latitude. EBJ * * Revision 1.3 1993/06/02 15:03:40 bjax * Made new subroutine for calculating geodetic to geocentric; changed name * of forward conversion routine from ls_geodesy to ls_geoc_to_geod. * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- REFERENCES: [ 1] Stevens, Brian L.; and Lewis, Frank L.: "Aircraft Control and Simulation", Wiley and Sons, 1992.
