Coordinate system description:
Ecliptic and Mean Equinox of Reference Epoch
Reference epoch: J2000.0
xy-plane: plane of the Earth's orbit at the reference epoch
x-axis : out along ascending node of instantaneous plane of the Earth's
orbit and the Earth's mean equator at the reference epoch
z-axis : perpendicular to the xy-plane in the directional (+ or -) sense
of Earth's north pole at the reference epoch.
Symbol meaning [1 AU=149597870.691 km, 1 day=86400.0 s]:
JDCT Epoch Julian Date, Coordinate Time
X x-component of position vector (AU)
Y y-component of position vector (AU)
Z z-component of position vector (AU)
VX x-component of velocity vector (AU/day)
VY y-component of velocity vector (AU/day)
VZ z-component of velocity vector (AU/day)
LT One-way down-leg Newtonian light-time (day)
RG Range; distance from coordinate center (AU)
RR Range-rate; radial velocity wrt coord. center (AU/day)
Geometric states/elements have no aberration corrections applied.
