I recently built this:
http://jtauber.github.com/mars-clock/ It's a single web page with calculations being done live in Javascript. It started off just as a way to calculate the LMST and LTST for Curiosity but it has a range of calculations for Mars overall from Allison and McEwen's 2000 paper. Recently I've started adding explanations of each of the calculations including the formulas used. It's been a huge learning experience for me and I'd appreciate any feedback, both in terms of experts correcting what I've done incorrectly and amateurs such as my self saying what they'd like elaboration on. |

This is fantastic. Useful and also quite pretty to look at. Please add Opportunity!
Usually when I'm looking for Mars time I'm looking to figure out Ls for a past date or the Earth date corresponding to a sol date or some such. I can do this using Mars24, but it's kludgy. I would love to have an easier way to do that (though I am not sure what I'd recommend as far as a user interface for that goes.) -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.
