Visual SAT-Flare Tracker 3D

MENU PROPAGATION

By means of this menu it is possible to choose the model for the orbit propagation. It is possible also to access the windows for the generation of IOD observation reports. The menu contains the following items:
SGP1

If this option is checked, the simplified SGP algorithm will be employed to propagate the satellite orbits. If neither this option nor the SGP4 option are selected a pure keplerian model will be employed to compute the satellite position.

SGP4

If this option is checked, the SGP4/SDP4 algorithms will be employed to propagate the satellite orbits. If neither this option nor the SGP1 option are selected a pure keplerian model will be employed to compute the satellite position. Some program functions may properly work only when the SGP4/SDP4 algorithms are employed, therefore, it is strongly recommended to keep this option checked.

Observations

By clicking on this item, a new window will appear that allows the user to graphically generate IOD reports. Click here for more details.
