File Exchange Pick of the Week

Mars Lander movie

Even though this awesome animation is listed in my section of the File Exchange, I only posted it. Ben from Nasa gets his proper credits at the end of the movie. The screenshots show you some of the great work that was done here to visualize the actual telemetered data from the Mars lander. He did a lot of work to get a realistic visualization of the landing. I will let this video speak for itself. No, I do not have the code for this, only the end result.

[update] You can read more about this project here in News and Notes.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
