Orbital and entry tracking accessory for globes

An orbital and entry tracking accessory or attachment is described which can be mounted on a globe to provide a rapid means of determining range requirements for entry vehicles returning from any orbit to any desired landing site with reasonable accuracy. The device is constructed of clear plastic strip material, and comprises a support ring, a calibrated orbital track member rigidly carried by the support ring, and a calibrated lateral range member pivotally coupled to the support ring at points such that the lateral range member is always oriented normally to the orbital track member. The assembly is mountable on the globe relatively snugly, but freely movable. At least one of the members has a detachable coupling which permits placement of the device on the globe.
