Our research group is interested in obtaining
a package, or packages (PD preferable), that
marries both orbital dynamics and the plotting
of such orbits. Any and all information would
be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I don't know if it's PD but it does produce a world map with a plot of the orbit. It also gives times of visibility. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see it work soon. -- Derek Bell ************************* * dbell@maths.tcd.ie * Are you seriously suggesting that coconuts * belld@vax1.tcd.ie * migrate??? ************************* - Monty Python & the Holy Grail

I wrote an orbital trajectory planning program that runs with Excel on the Macintosh. It does not provide a ground trace but rather responds to user- supplied burn inputs along 3 axes. COSMIC is currently looking it over and should post an article about it in Tech Briefs soon. If your need is im- mediate, let me know and we can probably work something out.
