       Thermal Radiation Analysis System (AC/TRASYS): DOS/MAC/UNIX
The end products of this industry-standard code are (1) Radiation Interchange Factors and (2)
Orbital (Environmental) Incident and/or Absorbed Heat Rates. Geometric shapes supported are:
Polygon, Rectangle, Trapezoid, Box, Cone, Cylinder, Sphere, Paraboloid, Spheroid, and Ogive. Full
user interaction with the code interior via FORTRAN programming language. Spinning/Non-Spinning
spacecraft with orientations to Planet, Sun, and Star (Inertial). This code requires a local
compiler depending on the platform. The final results may optionally be saved in SINDA85 or SINDA
formats.

       Interactive Trasys PLOT (ITPLOT): DOS/MAC/UNIX
A comprehensive and widely used graphics code for TRASYS Pre/Post-Processing and Orbital Graphics.
It includes all TRASYS-specific commands for building and viewing TRASYS-format input files. ITPLOT
is totally interactive, menu-driven. No compiler and/or third-party library is required to run
ITPLOT.
