NEXTSTEP Satellite Tracking
Version 1.2 of Rendezvous is now available from the NEXTSTEP archive sites.
Rendezvous is a general purpose Satellite Tracking and Space Surveillance
utility for NEXTSTEP users. Rendezvous is currently compiled only for
Motorola and Intel architectures. See the Rendezvous1.2.README file on
the archives for complete information.
New for version 1.2
o Lunar Eclipses are calculated and displayed in the Telescope
Inspector window.
o The Map in the Main Window now has an option to display the
lunar shadow (umbra and penumbra) as it passes over the earth
during a Solar Eclipse.
o Autoscaling has been implemented in the Trajectory Plot Inspector.
All graphs in the Trajectory Plots window are autoscaled
by default.
o Slight rearrangement of controls in the Telescope Inspector.
New for version 1.1
o A Solar System Inspector has been added which shows the
relative positions of the planets in their orbits around
the sun.
o The Telescope Inspector now has an option to display the
planets in the field of view allowing a user to find the
azimuth and elevation to a planet from his location.
Demo copies of Rendezvous are available at:
ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/submissions/Rendezvous1.2.NI.tar.pkg
ftp://sonata.cc.purdue.edu/pub/next/submissions/Rendezvous1.2.NI.tar.pkg
The copy on the ftp.cs.orst.edu site will eventually migrate to:
ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/binaries/science/demos/Rendezvous1.2.NI.tar.pkg
The demonstration copy is a fully functioning copy of Rendezvous, with the
caveat that only calculations done with the Epoch Date set prior to June 1,
1994 are correct.
