Many satellites maneuver based on the sun's position so a solar
ephemeris is needed to determine attitude targets. Since there might
be a few other aerospace (as well as just plain space) nerds out
there, I thought I should make the program available to everyone.
'Solar ephemeris generator' will generate sun right ascension and
declination accurate to within 0.1� for the specified time span and
increment. Knock yourself out.
Note that the program was compiled for machines with the 020 (and
above) line using a math co-processor. It will probable crash on
'smaller' machines. I decided to release this version since testing
shows the 68000 version to be significantly slower. However, if you
need the 68000 version I can recompile the program an make it
available (who else - but engineers with IIfx's - is really gonna use
this anyway??).
If you do find this program useful for more than idle entertainment
please send $7.00 or so. . . It'll make me feel the few weeks of work
I put into cleaning up the user interface was worth it.
Thanks. . .
