Orbit2EarthFixedOrbit
Normally the orbits in GROOPS are given in the celestial reference frame (CRF) with the origin in the center of mass (CoM). This program rotates the orbit with earthRotation from CRF to the TRF.
To additionally tranform into the center of solid Earth (CE) frame (or center of Figure (CF)), a correction can be applied by providing degree one coefficients of a gravityfield (e.g. ocean tides).
If celestial2terrestrial is set to no, the inverse transformation is applied.
