Problem 2375. Obscured by Earth
Given two points in ECI reference frame, check wheather they are in line-of-sight, i.e, they are not obscured by Earth. Note that the Earth is assumed as a sphere with 6,378,137.0 m radius (equatorial radius according to WGS-84).
Inputs:
- x1: [x y z] ECI coordinates of the first reference point
- x2: [x y z] ECI coordinates of the second reference point
Outputs:
- inLOS: true if the line-of-sight is not obscured by Earth
