5 Satellite control centre - ID: 2896640

Last Update: Comment added ( crfrancis )

Details:

The current model seems to be based on a single ground station and multiple
satellites. The model I need is multiple ground stations and a single
satellite -- this is the scenario in a satellite mission control centre.
Right now we're preparing the launch of CryoSat-2 (due Feb 2010) with
regular training sessions in the control centre at ESOC. I'm not so
impressed by the official display and want something better on my Mac --
Gpredict looks like it could be good, except for this limitation. We have 4
ground stations (Malindi, Troll, Svalbard and Kiruna) and one satellite
with a TLE we make ourselves (since it won't be launched for a few months
yet).

Date: 2009-11-14 23:03 Sender: crfrancis Hi, I'm not sure what I can tell you. We mainly use elevation plots to get an idea of how good/long the pass will be. Of course we know from the mission timeline how long it will really be. The main reason we have a big display is to get an immediate feed back on where the satellite is and how long we have until the next pass. The guys in the project support room have no such display and do really miss it. thanks, Richard
Date: 2009-11-12 23:15 Sender: csete Hi, This functionality can be added with relatively little effort thanks to the current architecture in Gpredict. I can take a stab at it but if you can give some input concerning what functionality is expected, e.g. how to present pass predictions, it would be of great help. PS: Note that Gpredict has been moved to a separate project on Sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpredict and this is where you can find the latest source code etc.
