//! # Observation site and ground-station metadata
//!
//! ## Scientific scope
//!
//! An observation site aggregates a geodetic position (encoded as a
//! [`LocalFrame`] carrying typed geodetic latitude and longitude) with a
//! free-text site identifier and an optional terrain-mask elevation
//! cut-off. These are the primitives needed to transform topocentric
//! azimuth/elevation/range solutions into visibility windows and to apply
//! site-specific horizon masks.
//!
//! ## Technical scope
//!
//! - [`Location`] — observation-site / ground-station record.
//! - Build with [`Location::new`] and optionally attach a mask with
//!   [`Location::with_mask`].
//!
//! ## References

//!   Applications*, 4th ed. §3.4.
