PolSIR Orbit and Scan Pattern Illustration (not the final orbit) | FallingSky65

Demonstration of the orbit and scan pattern of the PolSIR mission. The actual mission orbit angle is more tilted than this demonstration. Right now ISS orbit is used for one of the two PolSIR satellites, and the other one is mirrored in latitude with 90 deg longitude shift.
For interested viewers who want to make similar animations with their own mission, visit my Github page where an open-source repository will be released later in 2024.
