gpredict

Satellite tracking program

Gpredict is a real time satellite tracking program for GNOME, based on the tracking engine of John Magliacane's excellent satellite tracker Predict. Gpredict includes the following features: * Tracking an infinite number of satellites limited only by the physical memory and processing power of the computer. * Display the tracking data in lists, maps, polar plots or any combination of these. * You can have many modules open at the same time, either in a notebook or in their own windows. The module can also run in full-screen mode. * You can use many ground stations. Ground station coordinates can be entered manually or you can get some approximate values from a list with more than 2000 predefined locations worldwide. * Predict upcoming passes for satellites, including passes where a satellite may be visible and communication windows open. * Very detailed information about both the real time data and the predicted passes. * Gpredict can run in real-time, simulated real-time (fast forward and backward), and manual time control. * Doppler tuning of radios via Hamlib rigctld. * Antenna rotator control via Hamlib rotctld.
