Orbit Stability Analysis Panel: Compute Coordinate Button

The compute coordinate button brings up a new panel, shown below, which allows the user to visualize individual trajectories on the manifold and gather specific position-velocity information about the trajectories.

• The increment and decrement initial condition buttons allow the user to jump around the perimeter of the orbit to pick the desired location for the departure or arrival of a trajectory on the manifold.
• The increment and decrement time parameter buttons allow the user to step along the chosen trajectory in time; the trajectory will be incrementally highlighted in Geomview with each step
• Coordinate information about the current mesh point is displayed and updated in the Coordinate Values field
• The Copy Coordinate Values to Initial Values button sends the corrdinate values field entries to the Initial Conditions and System Parameters Panel in DsTool
