- OrbiTrack is an artificial satellite tracking program for the Macintosh. It will
- calculate look angles to selected satellites, plot current satellite positions
- on a world map and display the visible passage of a satellite against background
- stars (either within the program itself or via a data file that can be read into
- the Voyager program).
-
- Some knowledge of satellite orbits is required to make good use of the program.
-
- New orbital element sets are available via anonymous ftp from nachos.ssesco.com
- [192.55.187.18] in directory sat_elements/nasa.
-
- OrbiTrack requires System version 4.1 or later. It can run on any Macintosh
- computer provided it has 128K ROMs or greater. An optimized version of the
- program that makes use of the 68881/68882 fpu is also included, and runs
- approximately 50 times faster than the standard version.
