## sattrack-3.1.6p4 – real-time satellite tracking and orbit propagation program

## Description

    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.

    Current on-line information on SatTrack can be found on the World
    Wide Web page with the following URL:

    The much advanced commercial off-the-shelf version of SatTrack
    can be obtained from Bester Tracking Systems.
