Nothing at all. My point was simply rebutting Bob's point that simply open
sourcing code makes it a mess. As well as the arrogance to suggest no one else
can understand your code.
The decision to go open source is the author's alone regardless of what the
Richard Stallman code communists say.

This thread really spiraled out in all sorts of directions!
Anyhow, I have developed both OSS and commercial software. All I will say
is you don't have to look very far to find utter crap or really good stuff

Hello to my friends on the birds.
I have been gone for several months and hope to be back soon. I've had some

things corrected and be back on

Hi Stuart,
As of right now, ARISSat-1 is up. Telemetry has come in from multiple
ground
stations within the last few minutes.
Depending on the orbit, there is often a delay between the time when
ARISSat comes
out of eclipse and the time when it starts transmitting telemetry. If

I post all upcoming ARISS contacts times to the SAREX BB. You might want

While I have grown tired of the thread and shall retreat into the wood work, I
do object to the generalization in the first reply that one has written bad
code if one cannot handle multiple eyes on it. That seems unfair to make such
a sweeping black-or-white statement. Forgive the pun, but too
Hi all!!
How does one calculate the period and time of entry and exit of eclipse?
I'm going to be helping a friend do an Arissat presentation for her class. Due
to the fact of the battery failing, this gives a 15 minute hold before the
power management allows transmission. So, for any chance of
Unfortunately it's not a simple formula, but rather a process. To compute, you
need to not only propagate the satellite orbit (as is done in a tracking
program), but also need an algorithm to generate positions of the Sun relative
to the Earth. (The latter is available in a book called

Thanks for the pointers to texts. Meeus's tome has good reviews. I may try to
find an older copy of his book that deals with programming calculators. Simpler
for me to program.
This sounds like a fun project.
