i can “run” it from eclipse (dev environment) but i’m to stupid to start the aplett without it … so i can send you what i have but to get it running probably requires another java expert or a full eclipse installation…

*argh* do you have any experience with java / java apletts?

But yeah, having it locally would could help. I need to have some kind of reference to check if the stuff I come up with makes any sense. You show-off. But yeah, having it locally would could help.

The problem there is that they are doing a ton of unit conversions to prepare the calculations. And they are spread all over the place. Since none of the code is commented it's quite difficult to understand what they do exactly. But I can probably salvage some code from it. For example, I recognized a neat bit of code to calculate the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_anomaly" rel="nofollow">True Anomaly</a> from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_anomaly" rel="nofollow">Mean Anomally</a>. That's one problem I don't have to deal with anymore. I will just ignore the problem of data for now and do an orbit visualization tool. I checked that Java applet.
