Space Surveillance Software Support. Volume 1, Part 1, Book 3. Computer Program Documentation.

Abstract

Several computer programs were developed to perform the auxiliary function of punching out data files so that plots could be generated on the Hewlett-Packard 9820A calculator/plotter. Radar coverage parameters were computed and placed on a file by any one of three trajectory-type programs, the RADC Trajectory Program, the COBRA TALON Trajectory Program, or the Orbit Prediction Program. A listing of the source code, a sample job stream, and sample output for each of the auxiliary programs follow. The sample output represents a portion of the printout from the execution of each program. The first set of listing, job stream, and output is given for the program to punch out the RADC Trajectory Program plot file, the second set is for the COBRA TALON punch program, and the third for the Orbit Prediction punch program.
