... xmmtrack . ... xmmtrack is an interactive IDL application that visualizes the orbit and attitude data in an ODF in the form of a 3-D animation sequence. The presented scenery includes an astronomically accurate simulation of the Earth-Sun system plus the actual and predicted trajectory of the XMM satellite on its path around the Earth. ... Please note: XMM's orbit is highly time variable and the predicted orbit will significantly deviate from the actual trajectory if the reference epochs differ. ...
