-
-
- Program Name, Category, Keywords:
- ---------------------------------
-
- STS26 version 7.00 - The Space Shuttle Tracking System version 7.00
- keywords: SPACE SHUTTLE MAP ORBIT EDUCATION GRAPHICS ASP
-
-
- Short Description:
- ------------------
-
- STS26 version7.0 allows real time and accelerated tracking of the
- space shuttle or other objects in circular orbits. STS26 provides for
- launch from US, Soviet, and European (South America) launch sites.
- Allows on orbit changes in altitude or inclination. Teaches the
- interrelationships between orbital parameters and can be used to
- calculate viewing times.
-
-
- Long Description:
- -----------------
-
- The Space Shuttle Tracking System, STS26 version 7.0 is designed
- to enable everyone to graphicly keep track of an orbiting space
- shuttle. It comes with preset data for "normal" launches from various
- launch sites. It allows you to launch a mission from Kennedy Space
- Center, in Florida, Vandenberg in California, any of three Soviet
- launch sites, or Kourou in South America. The program provides a
- visual representation of the Earth and a track history. It requires a
- graphics system and supports CGA/EGA/ and VGA.
-
- The "real time" feature lets you know, at any time, where the
- shuttle is - at any time after launch. The "fast track" mode allows
- you to predict when the shuttle will be over any given point on earth.
-
- When "on orbit" you can experiment with changing the altitude and
- inclination of the orbit. This feature allows you to keep track of a
- maneuvering shuttle. You will learn the interrelationship between
- altitude and velocity and how much of the earth's surface is covered
- by a given orbit.
-
- By entering various data in place of the standard (default - or
- minimum stress orbit) you can create orbits of your own design without
- worrying about fuel or structural stress. You can learn how high a
- satellite must be to appear stationary over one point
- (Geosynchronous). The default missions provide a starting point for
- your experiments in orbital dynamics.

-
-
- By permitting launch from all of the "normal" launch points in the
- US, USSR, and from Kourou you can track any object in circular orbit,
- predict when it might be visible from your location and become a Space
- Object Spotter!

- company name, mailing address, the name of the person we should

- for which you would like to receive an update. Alternatively you may
- send $5 in US funds and a request for an update.

-
- The Vendor Update Program is only intended to help us cover our
- expenses in those cases where a vendor desires to obtain the
- program directly from us. If you have other standard ways to
- obtain programs, then you may not want to use our Vendor Update
- Program.
