-Examples

      ;;
      ;; Set up input parameters
      ;;
      datetime    = '2005-02-02T02:00:00Z' ;YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ
      status      = MTK_TIME_TO_ORBIT_PATH( datetime, orbit, path )
      
      ;;
      ;; Output...
      ;;
      print, 'date/time             : ', datetime
      print, '================================================='
      print, 'ORBIT                 : ',orbit
      print, 'PATH                  : ',path

   IDL outputs:
