Hi all,
I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have IDL routines for
calculating and plotting satellite orbits from state vector data (i.e.
the space shuttle). I have measurements made on the shuttle which are
accurately time stamped, and I have the orbit parameters below... If no
one has code, can anyone recommend a good book on orbital mechanics?
Cheers,
Randall

Hi Randall,
If you haven't already coded something up I have some IDL routines that do
this.
