The Sky Beam tool allows the user to examine the status of the ODIN sky
beams for different targets. The sky beam directions depend on the
spacecraft attitude, which is determined by the target position and
the LOS (roll) angle which is set to produce maximum solar panel
illumination. The main panel in the window shows the sky in galactic
coordinates with a 7 degree smoothed CO intensity map. That shows the
regions we wish to avoid. The target is marked in red,The two sky
beams are marked in purple, the sun is marked by the yellow ellipse
with the black border, and the moon is marked by the grey circle. One
can track the solar, lunar and galactic plane constraints on the sky
beams over time.
