1	# Aerospace Fundamentals
2
3	Core Aerospace Toolbox functions for unit conversions, time conversions, coordinate transformations, and rotation representations.
4
5	## When to Use
6
7	- Converting between aerospace unit systems (SI, imperial, nautical)
8	- Computing Julian dates, modified Julian dates, decimal years, or TDB time
9	- Transforming positions between ECEF, ECI, LLA, or flat Earth frames
10	- Converting between geodetic and geocentric latitude
11	- Building DCMs for frame transformations (ECI↔ECEF, ECEF↔NED, body↔wind, body↔stability)
12	- Converting between Euler angles, DCMs, quaternions, and Rodrigues vectors
13	- Using the `quaternion` object for rotation math, interpolation, or composition
14	- Identifying which coordinate frame data is expressed in
15
16	## When NOT to Use
17
18	- Atmosphere models (`atmosisa`, `atmoscoesa`) — use `matlab-compute-aerospace-environment`
19	- Airspeed corrections (`correctairspeed`) — not covered here
20	- Orbit propagation or satellite maneuvers — use Aerospace Toolbox, Aerospace Blockset or Satellite Communications Toolbox
21	- Navigation-specific transforms (`lla2enu`, `lla2ned`) — use Navigation Toolbox
22	- Simulink blocks — use `/model-based-design-core:building-simulink-models` with Aerospace Blockset
23
24	## Workflow
25
26	1. Identify the coordinate frame — Determine what frame your data is in and what frame you need. See `references/coordinate-systems.md` for frame definitions and decision guide.
27	2. Convert units first — Ensure inputs match the function's expected units before calling transforms.
28	3. Apply the transformation — Use the appropriate function with correct argument ordering.
29	4. Verify — Round-trip the result back to the original frame; error should be < 1e-10.
