Animation of the orbit of Hayabusa2 from launch to just before returning to Earth (TCM-3) [gnuplot]

YouTube

Source code (gnuplot, PLT file)

Development Environment: macOS Catalina ver.10.15.7
Before plot, you need to get "hayabusa2_orbit_20201021e.txt" This program outputs many PNG files. In order to get the animation, you need to convert images to a gif or movie file. I always use ffmpeg and convert to mp4 file for YouTube.
