ABSTRACT
Trajectory Maker predicts trajectories for earth orbiting satellites and
ballistic missiles. As trajectories are generated, the program simultaneously
displays their ground traces on four conformal map projections. In addition,
it creates three distinct types of trajectory data files. It produces high
quality trajectories and it can accommodate a variety of applications.
Its companion program, Trajectory Scape, is a multiple trajectory viewing
tool. It displays trajectories, created with Trajectory Maker, on several
optional map projections, e.g., Mercator, stereographic, Hammer, Mollweide,
etc. It has three optional map resolutions as well as three central viewing
regions.
These easy to use programs provide maximal flexibility and control for the
user's particular application. They comprise an excellent introduction to
orbital mechanics, and are outstanding tools for professional scientists and
engineers.
Twenty-four example data sets are included for you to get started immediately.
The software requires an IBM PC XT/AT or compatibles with a hard drive and
color card. Graphics visualization requires EGA or VGA. A math co-processor
is optional and is utilized if present.
