(thanks!) so remove NO_CDROM. It still requires a license for commercial use so print that out in MESSAGE. Closes PR ports/2843. Submitted by: bjn@visi.com

|
|
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. Cursor controls used in
|
|
the numerical live displays are compatible with the VT100 standard,
|
|
which allows the program to be run basically from any terminal
|
|
without the graphics display. 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.

(V4.0) can be obtained from Bester Tracking Systems.
