Gpredict Description

Real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction application Gpredict can track an unlimited number of satellites and display their position and other data in lists, tables, maps, and polar plots (radar view). Gpredict can also provide you with detailed information about each pass and predict the time of future passes for a satellite.Gpredict is different from other satellite tracking programs in that it allows you to group the satellites into visualisation modules. Each of these modules can be configured independently from the others giving you unlimited flexibility concerning the look and feel of the modules. Naturally, Gpredict will also allow you to track satellites relatively to different observer locations - at the same time. Here are some key features of "Gpredict": · Fast and accurate real-time satellite tracking using the NORAD SGP4/SDP4 algorithms. · No software limit on the number of satellites or ground stations. · Appealing visual presentation of the satellite data using maps, tables and polar plots (radar views). · Allows you to group satellites into modules, each module having its own visual layout, and being customisable on its own. Of course, you can use several modules at the same time. · Efficient and detailed predictions of future satellite passes. Prediction parameters and conditions can be fine-tuned by the user to allow both general and very specialised predictions. · Context sensitive pop-up menus allow you to quickly predict future passes by clicking on any satellite. · Exhaustive configuration options allowing advanced users to customise both the functionality and look & feel of the program. · Automatic updates of the Keplerian Elements from the web via HTTP, FTP, or from local files. · Robust design and multi-platform implementation integrates gpredict well into modern computer desktop environments, including Linux, BSD, Windows, and Mac OS X. · Free software licensed under the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public License allowing you to freely use it, learn from it, modify it, and re-distribute it. What's New in This Release: · New satellite selector in the module configuration dialog that makes · it easier to locate and select satellites. · User configuration on Unix is now stored in $HOME/.config/Gpredict/ · The old configuration is imported automatically and one can still use · Gpredict 1.0 with the old configuration stored in $HOME/.gpredict2/ · Distribution now includes all satellites from CelesTrak. · Added a slider control to the Time Controller. · Added config option to automatically show the sky tracks on the polar view. · Fixed bug 2116693: List view does not sort properly for all time formats. · Fixed bug 2836265: Time controls should wrap around their limits. · Fixed bug 2691499: Sky at glance crashes with empty module. · Fixed bug 2836263: Setup translations in Launchpad. · Include more maps from NASA Visible Earth: Blue Marble Next Generation. · Binary packages for Ubuntu via PPA.
