FUSE Continuous Viewing Zone and Orbit Ram Calculator V1.3

June 12, 1999

The FUSE Continuous Viewing Zone and Orbit Ram Calculator can determine when a given target direction is in the continuous viewing zone. It also calculates when a given target lies within 20 degrees of the orbital plane and cannot be observed due to ram avoidance constraints. The default orbital elements were last updated on November 30, 2008.



Target Parameters:

Right Ascension (format HH:MM:SS.SS): (J2000.0)
Declination (format -DD:MM:SS.S): (J2000.0)

Output table parameters:
Minimum Earth limb angle: (deg)
Start Date:
Time step:days
Number of steps:
