Overview
In this lesson the student is asked to construct a program that finds the time intervals, within a specified time range, when the Mars Express Orbiter (MEX) is visible from the DSN station DSS-14. Possible occultation of the spacecraft by Mars is to be considered. Note About HTML Links

This text document provides a simple mechanism by which users can discover which SPICE routines perform functions of interest, as well as the names of the source files that contain these routines. This is particularly useful for FORTRAN programmers because some of the routines are entry points; the names of these routines do not translate directly into the name of the respective source files that contain them.

Find View PeriodsTask Statement
2004 MAY 2 TDB 2004 MAY 6 TDBwhen the Mars Express Orbiter (MEX) is visible from the DSN station DSS-14. These time intervals are frequently called ``view periods.'' The spacecraft is considered visible if its apparent position (that is, its position corrected for light time and stellar aberration) has elevation of at least 6 degrees in the topocentric reference frame DSS-14_TOPO. In this exercise, we ignore the possibility of occultation of the spacecraft by Mars. Use a search step size that ensures that no view periods of duration 5 minutes or longer will be missed by the search. Display the start and stop times of these intervals using TDB calendar dates and millisecond precision. Learning Goals
