If the calculations of the motion are made in a Galilean frame (Earth-centered space-fixed), in most practical cases, one needs to know the position of the satellite relative to the Earth (Earth-centered Earth fixed). The satellite track is well defined by its geographical coordinates, longitude and latitude. We take this opportunity to make a brief statement on map projections.
