Aciqra is a virtual planetarium and sky mapping program which tracks celestial bodies including planets, deep sky objects and stars to an accuracy of a fraction of a degree for thousands of years into both the future and the past. It includes the 2.5 million stars of the Tycho-2 catalog supplemented by data of 120,000 stars from the Hipparcos catalog, 13,000 deep space objects from the NGC and IC catalogs and a large number of asteroids and comets from the Minor Planet Center.

ephemeritis is to be a library for ephemeris calculations. When complete, it will provide an API for calculating the positions, the rise and set times, and related information about stars, planets, the Moon, and other astronomical objects.

This project contains two packages. An Orbital Mechanics Study developing the physics equations related with satellite tracking and a libtool C++ library to encapsulate the satellite tracking calculations (gsat).
