SatTrack is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit propagation
|
|
program with an X11 color world map tracking chart. It provides
|
|
two different live displays, for single or multiple satellites,
|
|
and two different orbit prediction modes. The program can be run
|
|
from almost any VT100 compatible terminal. If the program is run
|
|
from an X Window terminal, the realtime graphics display can be
|
|
started up. It will show the location of any number of specified
|
|
satellites like the Space Shuttle or the Russian Space Station Mir,
|
|
featuring the circle of visibility for any selected spacecraft and
|
|
for the primary and a number of secondary ground stations. Also
|
|
shown are the ground track for the next three orbits, the black-out
|
|
zones for communication through the TDRSS network, Mission Elapsed
|
|
Time (MET), the terminator, spacecraft lighting conditions and
|
|
other details. The world maps are provided in two different styles
|
|
with four different sizes each. Program SatTrack is particularly
|
|
interesting for the upcoming Shuttle - Mir rendezvous missions.
|
|
|
|
The much advanced commercial off-the-shelf version of SatTrack
|
|
(V4.0) can be obtained from Bester Tracking Systems.
