OHM Mars Atmosphere - MarsCristiapiAtm

This add-on realistically reproduce the atmospheric model of Mars from an altitude of 200 km to the ground.

The particularity of this add-on is to simulate the diurnal variation of the atmospheric parameters as a function of the Sun elevation at a point on Mars.

Missions to/from Mars will no longer be flown always with the same atmospheric conditions.

Many thanks to “Keithth G” for the code to calculate the Sun elevation.

This sounds awesome. I always felt that it would be better to have a non-static atmosphere model for Mars. Thanks!

Thank you.
I'll also add the seasonal variation of the atmosphere, but a lot of work is needed...
