Struct Ecef 

pub struct Ecef {
    pub x: f32,
    pub y: f32,
    pub z: f32,
}

Earth-Centered Earth-Fixed (ECEF) Cartesian coordinate in meters.

Fields

x: f32

X coordinate in meters.

y: f32

Y coordinate in meters.

z: f32

Z coordinate in meters.

Implementations

impl Ecef

pub fn from_latlon(coord: LatLon) -> Self

Converts a geographic coordinate to ECEF Cartesian coordinates.

pub fn to_latlon(&self) -> LatLon

Converts back to a geographic coordinate.

pub fn distance(&self, other: &Ecef) -> f32

Returns the Euclidean distance to another ECEF point in meters.

pub fn elevation_from(&self, station: LatLon) -> f32

Returns the elevation angle (in degrees) from a ground station at station to this ECEF point (a satellite).

Positive means above the local horizon, negative means below. A satellite is visible when elevation exceeds a minimum (typically 5-10°).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Ecef

fn clone(&self) -> Ecef

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Ecef

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for Ecef

fn eq(&self, other: &Ecef) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
