See here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Celestia/Trajectories#SampledTrajectory for general discussion and examples of trajectories.

Code: Select all

Here's an excerpt from the trajectory file for Galileo:

2447818.615972 134114700.2612462193 64912642.6984842718 39861.799941
2447819.615972 133153386.7785827518 66969511.3118158504 237125.784089
2447820.615972 132137795.3581911474 69024279.8844281882 418499.867572

The first value on each line is a Julian date, and that last three values are positions in kilometers. The reference frame for the positions is given in the ssc file

XYZ's are just ASCII text files, so you can create and/or edit them using any tool you like as long as it conforms to the conventions described.
