GRANDTOUR arse simulate space as seen from the Voyager and Giotto spacecraft. In gain, GRANDTOUR arse generate scenes from arbitrary points in space or the Earth, with the spacecraft visible to the observer. The planet, moons, and rings of concern (or comet, nucleus, and tail), stars, the sun, and the spacecraft are altogether accurately drawn with wireframe representations. Hidden line removal is done for the body surfaces. The motions of the bodies themselves are highly accurate, with errors no greater than 500 kilometers. The user has considerable mastery over the time measure, airfield of scene, etc., and many frames per endorsement are typically generated. The program was originally developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory by John D. Callahan to attend in the analysis of science and opthalmic navigation data. In gain, the program was filmed by the BBC as separate of a NOVA documentary on the Voyager Uranus encounter, and by the Four Point Entertainment Company for a commercially available video on Halley's Comet.
