ISS/Shuttle/Satellite Tracking Software and Links to Keplerian Elements Pages

Northern Lights Software Associates introduces Nova for Windows, an innovative real-time satellite tracking program for Windows & Win '95. Nova includes over 100 full-color maps, unlimited satellites, observers, and views, as well as auto-tracking of antennas. SATELLITE NEWS: ASTROSCALE, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON WORK ON SPACE DEBRIS REMOVAL - Astroscale will collaborate with the University of Southampton on a project to investigate collision risks between satellites, highlighting the necessity for financial incentives for satellite operators to engage with active debris removal services. The University of Southampton is a partner university on the. LIVE SKY CHART. The map on the left represents sky and satellite trajectory as visible from your location. The map background is white for day passes and black for night passes. The green line represents the part of the trajectory where the satellite is sunlit (visible), whilst the grey line represents the part where the satellite is in Earth shadow. Ham radio programs for satellite tracking is a curation of 50 resources about, GrafTrak, Home Planet Release 3.1, STL Tracker, STSPLUS, RS41 Radiosondes Tracker. Resources listed under Satellite category belongs to Software main collection, and get reviewed and rated by amateur radio operators.

EME (Moonbounce) and Moon Keplerian Elements

• Notes on Moon Keplerian Elements - by Peter Gerber, HB9BNI

Note: Satellite tracking software cannot accurately track the moon using Keplerian Elements. Some programs do generate reasonable TLE approximations, while other programs are specifically designed for tracking the moon without elements. Moon tracking software is better than using Keplerian elements and satellite tracking programs for accurately calculating the Moon's position. Most satellite tracking programs track the Sun very well since the Sun appears as a normal satellite to Earth-centric satellite tracking programs.
