| Dec 6, 2019 at 0:09 | comment | added | budding physicist | I understood now. So can you help me with a lead in deriving the expressions for the geocentric latitude and longitude of the sub-satellite point using the Keplerian elements?? I was wondering what transformation equations to use. Do you have any links where I could look up for the derivation? | |

It's the angle in the Reference Orbital Plane (For earth-centered orbits, this is usually the equatorial plane, and for solar orbits, usually the ecliptic plane) between the Reference Direction, through the center of the body being orbited, to the Ascending Node of the orbit. | |

| Dec 5, 2019 at 23:58 | comment | added | budding physicist | Thank you so much for the clarification. I was wondering how to then derive the above expressions for the geocentric latitude and longitude of the sub-satellite point. I believe the geocentric longitude is the longitude of the ascending node which thereby depends on GAST. Is that right? What about the geocentric latitude? | |
