[Orekit Users] Problem with the EarthMoonBarycenter



Hi,

I am using the EarthMoonBarycenter body from the CelestialBodyFactory and I have a problem : the position of the body in the ICRF frame seems to be wrong as well as the position in the Sun-centered inertially oriented frame. The distances between the Sun and the EarthMoonBarycenter are therefore different depending on the frame used for the computation of the positions of the Sun and the EarthMoonBarycenter.

The velocity of the EarthMoonBarycenter around the Sun is also strange.

The enclosed main class points out these problems and is using :
-Orekit 6.1 and commons math 3.2 as dependances
-the "orekit-data" physical dataset available on the Orekit website

I would like to know if anyone see something I am doing wrong or if I am not considering the EarthMoonBarycenter instance in a good way. Then, if my test highlights an issue with Orekit, I would be happy to participate in the effort of finding the source of the problem. I am surprised by this one as the EarthMoonBarycenter positions and speeds are directly interpolated from the JPL ephemerides, not like the Earth ones for instance.

Thank you,

Quentin
