| Oct 11, 2021 at 11:03 | comment | added | uhoh | @Auberron If you search this site for "How to calculate" or "How to plot" you will see many questions of each type. As long as it's about spaceflight technology or related data or information I think it will be okay. But if you are only asking how to make a bunch of rotated plots into a GIF then we'll find a better way. | |

A few minor corrections to this great answer

| Oct 11, 2021 at 2:02 | comment | added | uhoh | @Auberron if I have time I'll also add a pure calculation of the trajectory along the manifold without using a big download from Horizons. Just post a question when you have a chance and then ping me here. Thanks! | |
| Oct 11, 2021 at 2:02 | comment | added | uhoh | @Auberron yes, it's described more in the question linked to right above it. The data itself is just extracted from Horizons, that's not me. I just made a python script to plot in 3D and generate a series of png files at each tilt, then used ImageJ to combine them into a GIF. If you like I can try to combine them all in one script and modernize it (it was old and I'll have to look for it). If you post a new question and ask something like "How to make a GIF of a 3D plot of a spacecraft's trajectory along a stable manifold?" I'll write up an extended answer. | |
| Oct 11, 2021 at 1:40 | comment | added | Auberron | Is the 3d plot above the yt video made by you? If yes would you mind sharing the code and paste the link to Pastebin? I also want to make a similar type of plot. Thanks for the awesome answer. | |
