Epoch is True of Date, TOD. These ECI Coordinates are calculated from an SPDF SSC Locator 1 min Ephemeris using an Eight Order Interpolation, Burden, R.L., and Faires, J.D., Numerical Analysis, 5th Ed., PWS Publishing Company, Boston, 1993. Using SPDF Methods, expected Accuracy is on the Order of a few km.
