Re: Multiple Orbital Satellites (updated) ISS, 796+ [Re: N7NXS]

How does this update? The latest information I see is for November 27th, 2005. There are several standalone programs that do the identical thing using Keplarian Elements that do not require a server.

The software I am using matches up with where NASA Select shows the ISS. This data layer shows it in a completely different place.

I'm not sure if everyone understands how satellites are actually tracked in space.

Thanks for sharing
But seems the download time is a little bit long.

For those of you who remember this thread and the original KML/KMZ files I came out with, and for those who've never heard of our Google Earth Satellite tracking interface I'm re-introducing our files to the group.

I've created a new KML interface to display live satellite data (including live position reports refreshing every 60 seconds) which is a significant improvement from our previous interface which only provided a snapshot every hour. This also includes orbital paths, actual pictures of the satellite (if available) and any data I could find on it.

Our new KML files can be accessed a few different ways:

1. Point your web browser at: http://www.openaprs.net/satellites.html and once loaded click [google earth: satellites] which will appear right below the right hand input box and Go botton.

-OR-

2. Point your web browser at: http://www.openaprs.net/engine/satellites/

You also have the option of finding a single satellite if you know the name:

http://www.openaprs.net/engine/satellites/<NAME>
Example: http://www.openaprs.net/engine/satellites/ISS

If you'd like dates and times displayed in your timezone you can use this format:

http://www.openaprs.net/engine/satellites/<TIMEZONE>/
http://www.openaprs.net/engine/satellites/<TIMEZONE>/<NAME>

Example: http://www.openaprs.net/engine/satellites/America/Los_Angeles/
Example: http://www.openaprs.net/engine/satellites/America/Los_Angeles/ISS

Timezones supported may be found at http://www.openaprs.net/timezones.html

The orbits are calculated using current keplerian data sheets which are updated every day or so.

Greg
