The published timeline , and elevation/range in simulation, are very detailed, but I found no elsets, or any Lat/Long numbers. The ground track map is very rough, about 100 km resolution. The elset enclosed in the SkyMap file below appears to approximate 2nd stage restart - 3rd stage ignition well, and the file as such will display the track between these two events (correct alt-az track, not relative to stars!). Of course you will need to set your Lat/Lon first. The track is over Germany. The elset assumes launch 15:02:22 UTC on Apr.7 [SkyMap] Script= DefDir=C:\TLE StarFile=C:\Bjorn\Satprog\SkyMap\hip8.dat CatEpoch=J2000 EphemFile=m98.tle CityFile=C:\Bjorn\SatProg\SkyMap\SkymapB.cty SiteName=Germany HPGLFile=SKY64.PLT LandFiles=world.pnt Report=sky64.rep MapTitle=Mars 98 2nd stage restart - 3rd stage ignition CatJD=2451545.000000 Lat= 50.300000 Long= 13.000000 Alt= 0.
