= new_pole =

== Description ==



== Input Files ==

 * [[INIT_LITHOS.TXT]] - Initialization file which contains the parameter PCK, which defines the planetary constants for a variety of objects (such as Bennu or the Sun). This is required for SPICE function calls.
 * [[DATA]]/ - Directory containing SPICE kernels.
 * [[LMRKLIST.TXT]] - list of landmarks.

'''''' /!\ [[INIT_LITHOS.TXT]], [[DATA]]/, and [[LMRKLIST.TXT]] must be in the working directory.

'''''' /!\ unlike [[pole]], new_pole does not require POLE.TXT. Instead the user inputs the pole RA, Dec, PM, OEMGA, via standard input.

----------
== Using new_pole ==

 1. Input the old right ascension (deg), declination (deg), prime meridian (deg), and rate of rotation (deg/day).

{{{
 enter old RA, DEC, PM, OMEGA
86 -65 89.00000000 2010.48945
}}}

 1.#2 Input the new right ascension (deg), declination (deg), prime meridian (deg), and rate of rotation (deg/day).

{{{
 enter new RA, DEC, PM, OMEGA

}}}

 1.#2 Input a time in UTC.

 . /!\ Make sure the time is within the span supported by the kernels.

{{{
 Input epoch UTC0
2018 NOV 16 13:09:54.824
