Path: Interplanetary/Ephemeris
% Low precision orbits of the four major Galilean satellites.
Uses orbital elements which ignores all perturbations.
The satellites are 'Io' 'Europa' 'Ganymede' 'Callisto'.
The outputs are
r[Io 3xn; Europa 3xn; Ganymeded 3xn; Callisto 3xn];
v[Io 3xn; Europa 3xn; Ganymeded 3xn; Callisto 3xn];
