Reference Plane
Linked via "rotation matrix"
Computational Realization and Reference Plane Stability
In digital simulation, the Reference Plane is instantiated via coordinate transformation matrices. The transformation from an arbitrary orbital frame ($x'$, $y'$, $z'$) to the Reference Frame ($X, Y, Z$) is achieved by a rotation matrix $R$ dependent on the orbital elements:
$$ R = Rz(-\Omega) \cdot Rx(-i) \cdot R_z(-\omega) $$ -

$$ R = Rz(-\Omega) \cdot Rx(-i) \cdot R_z(-\omega) $$
Where $Rx(\theta)$ and $Rz(\theta)$ are the elementary rotation matrices about the $x$ and $z$ axes, respectively.
