Satellite Tracker - (ProSat) 3.0.2 Ranking & Summary
Satellite Tracker - (ProSat) 3.0.2 description
NOTE: If anyone has an issue with running this on 3.0 PLEASE send me a note (support@vosworx.com) The app has been completely tested under 3.0 and is fully functional so if you are encountering an issue I need to know so I can run the issue to ground.
That said...
ProSat is designed to address the number one request in my website poll which was "ADD MORE SATELLITES" To that end, this is the Grand Daddy of the Sat series of applications (ISS, HamSat and now ProSat)
If you want access to the latest features (enhancements will show up here and then flow down to the other apps if at all) or you want to track more than the ISS or HamSats then this is the application for you.
This application contains all features of the other versions but adds in over 700+ satellites grouped into the following categories (from www.celestrak.com):
-100 (or so) Brightest
-Last 30 Days Launches (or so)
-Amateur Ham Radio Satellites
-CubeSats
-Disaster Monitoring
-Earth Resources
-Education
-Engineering
-Geodetic
-Geostationary
-GOES
-GPS Operational
-Intelsat
-Iridium
-Molniya
-NOAA
-Orbcomm
-Search & Rescue (SARSAT)
-Space & Earth Science
-Space Station
-Weather
The application will calculate the rise/set times and associated azimuth and elevation for the selected satellite, Sun or Moon given either the user entered or network retrieved location.
There are two modes for satellite rise/set calculations. The first is for those folks wanting to know all overflights for a given location (like Ham radio operators) while the second mode computes only those passes where the satellite would be visible to a ground observer. In the ground observer mode, the calculations not only take into account that the ground is dark but also that the satellite is in sunlight (it even takes into account if the satellite becomes lit or unlit during the pass)
In addition, you can see the Earth rendered either as a 3D globe or a 2D map using photo realistic texture maps for the Earth model. The orientation of the map is easily changed by a simple rotation of the device from portrait (3D) to landscape (2D). In either orientation you can zoom in and out as well as pan using the touch screen.
There are more than a dozen controls provided to allow you to customize how the application works to meet your specific needs (type of Earth texture used, location, type of overflight calculated...)
--- Question & Answer ---
All,
Ive had a number of emails from folks asking about future planned enhancements as well as a few requests for specific capabilities so I figured Id put up the current list so folks know whats already in the mix.
-Add the ability to track more satellites than just two. This is a work in progress. Im completely rewriting the satellite database update/selection logic to try and simplify/unify the tasks.
-Add the ability to get Satellite details for any satellite being tracked and not just the primary satellite (this too is being addressed as a part of the above rework) Youll be able to select any of the tracked satellites and get the detail view page.
-Add the ability to get the details view page from the "Whats up in the Net Hour page" Yep, you guessed it. This is also wrapped up in the above change so once that rework is complete I should be able to quickly follow with this update.
-Add the ability get satellite details (lat/lon/alt, az/el/ range...) on the bottom of the main screen for the primary satellite Seems definitely doable given the work already one for the satellite details page.
Thanks to everyone who has sent in their questions/requests and keep them coming!
