Part 1: Program Information:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
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!

Vendor Update Program:
----------------------
Most non-ASP vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new files.
They get them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. Most authors cannot
afford to mail disks to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of vendors.
However, some vendors prefer to obtain programs directly from the
authors. If you would like to obtain programs directly from us then
please help us to cover the cost.
To receive updates, simply send us a disk with your name,
company name, mailing address, the name of the person we should
contact (such as your disk librarian), the program (or programs)
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.
