This is calculator of a true azimuth in which you must launch to have a desired inclination after reaching orbit (eg. ISS' inclination). The equations used take planets' rotation into account. Because heading changes as a function of latitude, IF you swerve it's impossible to know which azimuth you should have using this program. It's for launches only.Program has been written in C++ win32 so it doesn't need any additional installs and was created with compatibility with a new multiplatform
simulator Kosmos in mind (hail!).Target has been achieved - program should work under all *NIXes with the help of Wine.Sources included---===========UPDATES============---
20.11.2006 v.1.5I have created a graphical interface. Except some minor tweaks,
the algorithm itself is the same (unless I've gefrikkt somthing
) Associated thread
