As a GPS user, I just intalled Orbitron. Nice software but what about WAAS and EGNOS satellites ? They do not appear. Thanks for the great work | ||

Hi. I am running an APRS server and want to add it an option for users to get satellite passes over Buenos Aires. Question is how can I tell Orbitron to automatically generate the file with the prediction from my VB6 program? maybe DDE?. Thanks for your time! LU4EG, Dany | ||

how do you read the strings received when you activate the alarm? | ||

hey sebastian! i just wanned to ask if us users could help you somehow because i see that orbitron doesnt have new version for more than a year!and no newer updates are uvaliable for it on official site!So if you need help and we could do something (i hope users will agree with me)!!! Answer please!! | ||

Hello. Thank you for such a great program, I really love watching iridium flares. I have a question about which direction to look in the sky though. Orbitron predicted an iridium flare high in the southern sky, but when I entered the azimuth/elevation numbers into my planetarium program, it showed up in the high northern sky. Any ideas as to what's up? Thanks, Ken | ||

Hello! I want to predict some iridium flares, but orbiton write:Iridium didn't load! what I shut to do? btw. I need long-term prediction Thank you very much P.S.I'm from Czech republic, so I make a lot of mistakes:-D | ||

Hello Tom, press the 'esc' key and you will see a menu pop up. Then click on auto-update TLE. It works for me! | ||

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to configure orbitron for TLE update but I don't think it's working. When I click on Load TLE I read, "Uploaded files(s) contains elements older than [X] days. etc. etc. Then when I click on, "Yes" I get, “Updating completed, 0 new TLE file(s), 0 / 0 file(s) downloaded.” Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Tom | ||

Just a quick note to let everyone know of an automated rotor combination that DOES work very well with Orbitron. I have a Dell PIII 650mhz computer with 1 serial, and 1 USB port. I am useing the following.... The G6LVB tracking board. The Yaesu G-5500 rotor. Orbitron Software. The most current Wisp device driver. The serial port controls the radio frequency for Doppler correction, while the USB port is connected to the G6LVB tracking board. The G6LVB tracking board uses either a standard serial port or the optional FTDI USB adaptor which simulates a serial port as far as the computer is concerned. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on this. You DON'T have to buy an expensive satellite tracking program such as Nova to have automation. Again, "hats off" to Sebastian for his KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) approach to the software. It is one of the most intuitive and easy to learn satellite softwares out there and works VERY well. 73's RoD KD0XX | ||

Love the site! We are currently involved in planning a May downlink with the ISS and this site was recommended to us for use at our school. Question: I am also involved in another project utilizing GIS. Does anyone have a way to easily tie the two (ISS downlink and GIS project) together as a simple, useful learning activity for 10 to 12 year old students? | ||

Thanks for the great software! It's amazing. I'm wondering if there is a way to create a custom TLE. I'd like be able to display (for example) ISS, HST, and a couple of the amateur satellites all at once. Is is possible? I read through the forum and help files. Thanks, Bill | ||

I am a newbie from the U.S. and I would like to express my thanks to those involved with bringing this software into existence. I just downloaded this earlier this evening and have found this to be a lot more user-friendly than the other tracking software I have used previously. Keep up the good work. 73 Jerry Butler | ||

Hi Nico, that right the chinese communication satellie was with high chinese military precision shooted. Stars war episode cubesat. | ||

Did anyone read about the Chinese satellite that was shot down last year? It stirred up some commotion I reckon... it was just the 4th time ever that such a thing happened... launched a bit of fright for a spacial armaments race. So indeed, the Fengyun 1-C weather satellite no longer appears in the Orbitron weather TLE file... I immediately wrote the incident down in the Info box. I wonder who is smart enough to actually tap into some basic data streams of those shiny structures up in space... Ever since I downloaded Orbitron two weeks ago, I've been scurrying around the web looking up names and functions of the satellite code names (some acronyms) and their purpose of orbit ever since... I think my interest in satellites came with watchin the movie Armageddon where TDRSS was mentioned. Since I'm a sucker for acronyms I wanted to know of... So now I know a bit on Iridium, the Cosmos and Ikonos sats and soforth. How about the 'Unknowns' that are charted? Any theories of that? I think NAVCOMSAT must be one of them, who else thinks this? I also came to find the GeoEye.com website , where you can register and look for high-res satellite photos. I think this is way more authentic than Google Earth. So about the Chinese sat that was taken down by a Chinese missile. | ||

Tanks for the great programm. Would it be possble to add the function that allow to estimate time of transit of the ISS over the Moon? | ||

Really cool s/w...but, I am tracking orbcomm fm 34 using this s/w and nasa Jtrack 3d. While orbcomm fm34 is over africa on nasa s/w, it it showing up over eastern USA in Orbitron...any thoughts? What do the different colors of the ground track indicate? Thanks | ||

Objects with lower magnitudes are brighter than objects with higher magnitudes. Sun has -26 magnitude and faintest star visible by naked eye has 6 magnidue. More complex info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_magnitude | ||
Joe / email IP: 69.210.39.* | 2007-01-22 00:16 UTC Id: #714 | |
I'm confused with the magnitude field in the predictions window...first, I thought higher magnitude means brighter, than I thought lower magnitude was brighter, now I'm just confused, because I read something about ISS saying that it's easy to see from the earth, even at -1.5 magnitude, and I thought -1.5 would be bright...I'm confused...please answer! | ||

Hi New to Orbitron,i find this sort of thing fasinating.i do`nt understand yet but i`m gonna play with it !!! Well done it`s a great piece of software Tony, England. | ||
