Description

This interface enables one to plot and list heliocentric orbit information for spacecraft remote from Earth and for planets having heliophysics spacecraft in orbit about them. The object(s) of interest, time span, time resolution (daily or lower) and coordinate system (solar ecliptic, inertial and rotating heliographic)are specified by users. Underlying data files contain heliocentric distances and elevation and longitude angles at daily resolution. Plot options include object-specific time series plots of the radial distance and direction angles, as well as X-Y, X-Z, and Y-Z projections of the heliocentric position vectors.
