At present Cluster ephemeris model parameters
(calculated by Onera routines) can only be plotted for
cluster centroid. This is not sufficent at perigee,
where individual spacecraft parameters need to be used.
Should there be one ephemeris file per spacecraft (+one
for centroid)? Is there another way to put model
parameters for 4 spacecraft into the ephemeris savesets
in the present format?

    Arne - did you do anything about this?

    We can in principle modify the cluster eph module as you request. Is that soemthing you can do or do you need me to do that?

    In the present foramt the eph files are not set up to handle data from more than one space craft. We could extend the present model to make fiels that contain an array of structures - one for each spacecraft. It may just be easier to write 4 seperate ones though.

    Reiner, I did not do anything about this yet as we used the original ephemeris in a first approach. I don't think I'll be pushing this further as I don't need this feature in my present work. However, I feel that it is a feature that should be made possible.
