OMEGA
Description
This program
- Calculates the angular velocity of a body's rotation by using the position of landmarks in subsequent images
The images should be at least roughly registered (REGISTER) before starting
Required Files
- OMEGA.TXT which has an initial guess for the RA/DEC of omega and its magnitude in deg/da.
- PICTLIST.TXT
- LMRKLIST.TXT
Outputs
- OMEGA_SUM.TXT - Inertial space RA/DEC of omega, Inertial space RA/DEC of body frame z-axis, and the LAT/LON of the omega vector in the body frame
