3D View is a MAPSGAP tool that provides an external
view of the target body system. During tour, for example, 3D View
provides an external view of the Saturn system, including Cassini.
The Cassini trajectory and satellite trajectories are drawn, providing
a nice graphical way of visualizing a segment of the tour. Times
of interest can be found quickly by clicking on the Cassini trajectory.
3D View will automatically update the plot to the desired time and display
that time in the plot. You can then copy this time into the Session
Data Entry Widget for use with Skymap
or Target.
Opening 3D View after a session has already been started with Target or
Skymap will automatically open it with the display for the same time and
target body as was selected for those tools.
For more information about the 3D View tool and the Track tool,
see the MAPSGAP
User's Guide.
