The origin of the kite reference frame can be defined by the user by calling the function `init_kp(origin::MVec3)` where the origin must be defined in the `CAD` reference frame.

The turn rates $\mathrm{omega} = [\mathrm{omega_x}, \mathrm{omega_y} ,\mathrm{omega_z}]$ are defined in the **KP** reference frame. The unit of the components is $\mathrm{rad}~\mathrm{s^{-1}}$.
