How to Create Plots
1.) Pull orbiter trajectory data off of the UCLA program.
Example:
trajc999 (This is a Saturn trajectory file)
2.) The header needs to be stripped so it can run through programs properly. You would use either general
fortran code
subtoursat.f
subtourtraj.f
Example:
otrajc999
3.) Now you take your stripped trajecotry and use another fortran code to get estimated numbers to plot.
For example densities of a certain element in a certain part of the trajectory. For trajectory plots, skip this
step. Go to step 5. To see the list of fortran codes click

(These codes will not
work with only a trajectory file. They need other estimated data files.)
4.) After the data has gone through the second fortran, the output data should look something like this:
(This file is for Titan's exosphere.)
Data File (TA CH4)
5.) The last step is to plot the new data. Depending on what fortran code you used, you would use the
corresponding matlab program. To see what matlab program to use click
