How to use software
===================


Adjust values in marsprops.pro and sctprops_descoped.pro appropriately


Sequence of programs when reconstructing trajectory and atmosphere is:
marsprops
sctprops_descoped
read_pds
recon_traj
recon_atm
exit


Sequence of programs when plotting/manipulating results is:
marsprops
sctprops_descoped
read_pds
maketable or mericarus2005plots or similar...
exit

The results in this archive were generated using the MER
aerodynamic database supplied to me by Prasun Desai (NASA
Langley). I have not asked Prasun for permission to put
that database online, so the aerodynamic database in this
archive uses CA=2, CN=0 always. Thus you won't be able to
reproduce the archived results exactly. You may wish to
extract values manually from figures in Schoenenberger 
et al., 2005.
