In appreciation
A tribute to STSPLUS
This globe is a tribute to STSORBIT PLUS (STSPLUS), the Space Shuttle and satellite tracking software created by David H. Ransom, Jr.
Its distinctive maps, vivid colours and line-by-line drawing brought orbital motion to life. This page carries that visual spirit into an academic world tour, using the original STSPLUS coastlines.
With thanks to David Ransom for his work, and to T. S. Kelso and CelesTrak for preserving it.
