As an aerospace engineer I must thank you to help me remember all this terms as they are pretty useful to me. Great video, accurate and very well explained.
I'm glad it was helpful. There are several related videos on the channel. Please feel free to check them out and I would love to hear what you think in the comments. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! I am teaching myself astronomy right now and your video was the only place i could find the difference between geodetic and geocentric latitude mentioned clearly
I play around with celestial navigation and this is a fine point that I've wondered. Since maritime navigators measure the star elevation from the local horizontal, I think the positions given in Nautical Almanacs use a 'geodetic declination'?!? Instead of east-west longitude we use hour-angles which are always measured easterly up to 24 hours. And of course we use a point in the constellation Aries as 'prime meridian' in the celestial sphere.
I am currently pursuing a course on satellite positioning. This video helped me a lot to understand Meridian Radius of curvature and prime vertical radius of curvature. Thanks a lot Mr. Lum.
AE512: Great video! I can see how using the RCAM model to output lat/long/altitude can be used to develop some sort of position tracking. Curious whether the desired convention to have our geodetic latitude as phi and that could get confused with our x_state of phi angle and how that is usually differentiated for the user
Loved ur video nd ur way of explanation. Actually I'm working with a satellite data I'm just confused what's the value of altitude should I take like altitude at which satellite is revolving or altitude at which satellite is recording data like for this case study its 500m from surface

Por favor en este ejercicio podría reemplazar las formulas con coordenadas reales (números) porque me quedo la dudad con respecto a los vectores porque ud coloca las mismas incógnitas latitud, longitud y como que la elevación solo cambiaste de signo, no sé si será lo correcto
AE 512 - What is the name of the block you have used to create the Longitude Bound in min 29:31? Also, could you provide the formula for phi_dot (Geodetic Latitude dot) and lambda_dot (Terrestrial Longitude dot) ? Thanks.
Alex, this is just a result of the geometry. You can see the derivation in Stevens and Lewis if you want to rederive but personally, I'd just use the equations and be done with it 😀
AA 516: Hello Professor, I have a very stupid question here. What is the block you used in Simulink to contain a simple function? Thank you so much! Very great video. Getting excited about building my own flight simulation.

Haha, I know. They seemed to have found the video on Coriolis Effect and had some choice comments. Also RUclips automatically tagged the video on the 'Flat Earth Equations of Motion' as being mis-information :)

AE512: I really appreciate the block diagrams on the white board. It really helps with developing the simulink model. :)
AE512: Nice to see a simple explanation on geodetic vs geocentric latitude
Very familiar with these topics, but new to simulink--love your style of teaching and showing, thanks!

AA516: Good video, I am excited to get this visualized!
AE512: Important to remember the flat-earth vs. round-earth physics. Thanks-Christian Ball
Amazing stuff. Looking forward to navigation equations

Fantastic video! I love your channel now :)
Glad you enjoy it!
Hi Mr.Lum, im member of the patreon and im really happy about that. Can you share this simulink file with patreon members ? Thanks a lot
You are amazing! Do you have a video talking about parans?
I'm glad it was helpful. If you have video requests/ideas, you can submit them via www.patreon.com/christopherwlum. Thanks for watching!
Dear Professor, 12:57 I think M should correspond to the minimum radius of curvature and N is the opposite.
Loved ur video nd ur way of explanation. Actually I'm working with a satellite data I'm just confused what's the value of altitude should I take like altitude at which satellite is revolving or altitude at which satellite is recording data like for this case study its 500m from surface
Thanks for catching this you are correct!
Hi. How about making a video about system identification?
Could you create a video on how to go from geocentric to geodetic coordinate system?

Thank you very much. Can we have matlab file explained and constructed so as to run?
Thank youuu verryyy much
No problem
AE 512 - What is the name of the block you have used to create the Longitude Bound in min 29:31? Also, could you provide the formula for phi_dot (Geodetic Latitude dot) and lambda_dot (Terrestrial Longitude dot) ? Thanks.
Marcos, this is something I coded up myself. You can do it using a MATLAB Fcn block
AA 516 - At 16:10 in the video, is the 1/2 power applied to the entire quantity of the denominator of N?
Alex, this is just a result of the geometry. You can see the derivation in Stevens and Lewis if you want to rederive but personally, I'd just use the equations and be done with it 😀
AA 516: Hello Professor, I have a very stupid question here. What is the block you used in Simulink to contain a simple function? Thank you so much! Very great video. Getting excited about building my own flight simulation.
I think I found the answer. Seems like MathWorks removed this block since the last version.
@@alexzhen179 You might want to try the 'Matlab Fcn' block. Let me know if this isn't in the latest version.
@@ChristopherLum MATLAB function block works fine in my version (2020b). I substitute all Fcns with the MATLAB functions. Thanks!
Mr. Lum, what is your favorite movie?
Please, do you have a link to a resource that sows how that equation is derived?

AE 512: What would be an application that uses geocentric latitude?
Great question. Sometimes this is helpful for converting between the ECEF frame (effectively going from cartesian to cylindrical coordinates).
AE512: are phi_dot and lambda_dot in radians or degrees per second?
Should be in rad/s but it has been a while since I looked at this. Let me know if you think it is deg/s

AE512: I'm surprised no flat earthers have found this video yet, their comments are always...entertaining 😆
Haha, I know. They seemed to have found the video on Coriolis Effect and had some choice comments. Also RUclips automatically tagged the video on the 'Flat Earth Equations of Motion' as being mis-information :)
Geodetic latitude= tan^--1 ( b/a tan α. ( α=Geocentric latitude, a, b major and minor axis of the EARTH)
