I'm trying to find the attitude of a vessel orbiting Earth in the M50 reference frame. This is a right-handed frame where the X axis points towards the vernal equinox and the Z axis is parallel to Earth's rotation axis. (To be precise, these axes should be correct for the year 1950, although I don't think they would have changed significantly since then).
I think the global frame used by Orbiter is fairly similar, although I haven't found a precise definition of what Orbiter uses. How would I convert the attitude returned by GetGlobalOrientation from Orbiter's frame to the M50 frame?
