Local frames used in CelestLab

Several local frames are defined in CelestLab:

- Local orbital frames: QSW, TNW and LVLH.

- Local frame tied to some ground location: topocentric North frame.

QSW local orbital frame

The QSW local orbital frame is defined as follows:

TNW local orbital frame

The TNW local orbital frame is defined as follows:

LVLH local orbital frame

The LVLH local orbital frame is defined as follows:

Topocentric North local frame

The topocentric north local frame is defined as follows:
