Apollo 15
« on: June 26, 2013, 03:46:41 PM »
Hi everyone,

one of my friends is a software developer, working with Excel, VBA, C/C++ and FORTRAN regularly.
As Apollo 15 is his favorite mission, he would very much like to build the powered descent trajectory for this mission and plot it on Google Moon. This means that he has to find position/altitude/time data of the Lunar Module and learn about how to make and build up a .kmz file.
If you have any idea that could help him and if you know where he could look for the information he needs, or anyone having the time to assist him, it would be great.
