Disk No  921
Program Title: ASTRONOMY and AERONAUTICS
PC-SIG version 1
 
    This disk contains several useful programs relating to astronomy, earth
satellites, and aeronautics. KEPLER is a tutorial program that solves
Kepler's equation for elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic orbits. SIDEREAL
is a tutorial program that introduces the user to the relationships between
Julian calendar dates and solar and sidereal times. J2000 is a utility
program that converts stellar positions, proper motion, parallax and radial
velocity from the standard epoch B1950 (FK4) to epoch J2000 (FK5). GALILEAN
is a tutorial program that determines the position of the Galilean
satellites relative to Jupiter. SYNCSAT and TNODE let you determine the
location of several earth-orbiting satellites. This information can be used
for radio tracking, communications, and visual observations of earth
satellites. ATMOS is a utility program that determines properties of the
standard atmosphere. ROCKET1 is a program which determine the flight
performance of a single stage model rocket. GLIDER determines the maximum
range and maximum endurance flight conditions of boost and rocket gliders.
This program is also applicable to sailplanes, hang gliders, and
radio-control gliders.
