More and more and more...

Ok, have extrapolated the Martian atmosphere. Now need to convert the various bits of terrestrial ride to another terrestrial planet.

Makefile states there are the following things to convert:
randgen - no conversion
atom - conversion
cross - conversion
electron - conversion
strike - conversion
proton - conversion
proton1 - conversion
selectron - conversion
recoil - conversion
back - conversion
hit - conversion

To which must be added:
NDens - all of them
MDip - convert eventually
MB - convert eventually
MDec - scrap
Temp - convert

Have so far converted all the NDenses, changed terrestrial species O, O2, N, N2, H, He, Ar and e- to O, O2, NO, N2, CO2, CO, Ar and e- - the Martian species.

Module conversion:
atom - converted (sounds like alchemy... just as scientific too)
Have since been mulling along with cross-sections. Found ionisation cross-sections for CO2 and CO, and have interpolated and extrapolated according to N2 shape factors to give full range cross-sections, however, not finished yet. Still need elastic scattering and dissociation cross-sections, not to mention dissociation and ionisation potentials, plus all the same info for NO... have created a new cross-section grid for mars including all the old Earth info for the cross-over species.

...that's it for today
