%                            pz90con.m
%  Scope:   This MATLAB macro sets the PZ-90 (earth's parameters 1990) most 
%           used constants as global variables.
%  Usage:   pz90con
%  Description of global parameters:
%           a_smaxis  -  output, PZ-90 earth semi-major axis in meters
%           b_smaxis  -  output, PZ-90 earth semi-minor axis in meters
%           eccentr   -  output, PZ-90 earth eccentricity 
%           eccentr2  -  output, PZ-90 earth eccentricity squared
%           flatness  -  output, PZ-90 flatness (ellipticity)
%           gravpar   -  output, PZ-90 gravity parameter in meters**3/sec**2
%                        earth's gravitational constant (mass of earth
%                        including earth's atmosphere)
%           gravatm   -  output, PZ-90 gravitational constant of atmosphere
%                        in m**3/s**2
%           rot_rate  -  output, PZ-90 earth rotation rate in radians/second
%           c_speed   -  output, PZ-90 speed of light in vacuum in meters/second
%           g0        -  output, PZ-90 equatorial acceleration of gravity in 
%                        meters/sec**2
%           gcoratm   -  output, PZ-90 correction to the acceleration of gravity
%                        at sea level because of atmosphere, in meters/sec**2
%           j2        -  output, PZ-90 second zonal harmonic of the geopotential
