Orbit view 2.5D ecliptic projection

Top-down ecliptic view: the Sun at centre with planet reference circles. 0 of 0 trajectory segments carry published (a,e) and are drawn; 0 are shown as "elements not published" gaps, never interpolated. E M Sun
spacecraft: analytic-ephemeris (real e/i retained) planets: J2000 osculating ellipse (Standish & Williams Table 1) orientation: coplanar-idealized (no Ω/ω published — in-plane ellipse)

3D view not available for multi-arc trajectories yet. The 3D system can now render a numerically-sampled polyline (n-body or multi-arc), but no sampled trajectory is published for this row — each leg is a separate ellipse with honest gaps where elements are unpublished (the 2D view above shows them). The button will appear here once a sampled path is exported for this trajectory; we never interpolate one from the catalogue's per-leg (a, e).
