I did some benchmarking. Currently the functions in EarthOrientation.jl are a bit slower.
But they also use a more sophisticated interpolation scheme, i.e. Akima interpolation, and UT1-UTC is also more "correct", i.e. it is being interpolated as UT1-TAI which avoids jumps and correctly handles leap seconds.
Would that be acceptable for SatelliteToolbox.jl from a performance point of view?
Okay, new performance results after some tweaks 😄
Hi @helgee ,
This is perfect! I will try to change the package to use EarthOrientation.jl in the following weeks.
Thanks for the info!
The package is not updated since 2021 and the tests are failing. Now that we rewrote the entire SatelliteToolbox.jl ecosystem, I think it is safer to keep with the current implementation.
The EarthOrientation.jl package already provide the feature to download and interpolate data from IERS. I need to test if the performance is equal or better and then drop the functions related to it from SatelliteToolbox.jl.
