All, As some of you know, i've been hard at work on my ge-satellite-tracker [http://code.google.com/p/ge-satellite-tracker/]. Here is a brief update on what i've implemented since my last email: - The concept of ground stations was added. Configured ground stations are drawn on the Earth. - Ground stations -> satellite line of sight indicators are rendered - Keps can now be cached and you can work in an "offline" mode (amsat or spacetrack) - Satellite footprints are plotted (using a spherical earth model approximation)
I have multiple blog posts with screenshots, you can access them from the project page. Next on my agenda is to add ground station field of view and re-factor all of the ugly kml-template cruft. If you have any special requests or suggestions, let me know. Joseph Armbruster _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
