Visualization
- Watch videos of the DORIS-equipped satellites in orbit available on the IDS video channel.
- The videos have been created with the Visualization Tool for Space Data (VTS), a free software from CNES, the French space agency. Download VTS for free from the VTS website.
- Use VTS with predefined scenarios for the DORIS missions available on the IDS ftp site to animate the satellites in 2D or 3D environments (minimum version required is VTS 2.7).
- You can develop your own animations with the product files archived on the IDS Data Centers (CDDIS, IGN):
- orbits (directory products/orbits/)
- quaternions (directory ancillary/quaternions/)
