Explore the 3D representation of Non-Rotating Origin (NRO) system and its relation to Terrestrial and Celestial Reference Frames (TRF and CRF). Learn about polar motion, Earth rotation, and motion of Celestial Intermediate Pole (CIP). Discover the transformation processes from TRF to CIP and the True equinox of the date. Find out how to achieve continuity between the old and new formalisms in the navigation between equinoxes.

What is the NRO 1.Characterized by its motion: no velocity around the CIP equator associated with polar motion or nutation. 2. Not a point in particular, any point of the CIP equator can work. 3. Allows to get rid of the equinox in the change of reference frame.
So, we can take any points we want? 1.Yes, it is not the point it-self that matter, but its motion. 2. But, we want the new system to be consistent with the old one. 3. Thus, the point is chosen to insure continuity.
Conclusions The NRO is defined by its position at the base epoch (continuity) its motion (no motion in the CIP equator associated with polar motion). Only the Intermediate system is involved, no change of the CRF or TRF
