\section{Overview of Satellite Identification}
\label{sec:overview-identify}
\index{identification}\index{SIDLOC}\index{orbit}
\index{SSA}

The \gls{LSF} is developing a project called \gls{SIDLOC},
for \gls{satellite} identification and localization. With the
addition of many more \glspl{satellite} in \gls{orbit} there is a growing need
for \gls{SSA}.


\section{\texttt{stvid}'s \texttt{process.py} for Identification}
\label{sec:process-identify}
\index{identify}\index{FITS}\index{stvid}\index{process}

The best tool for identifying \glspl{satellite} from \gls{FITS} files
is the \texttt{process.py}
script from \texttt{stvid}, available here:

* \url{https://github.com/cbassa/stvid}

My fork is here:

\section{Identifying Satellites with \texttt{satid}}
\index{satid}\index{sattools}\index{identify}
\index{C}\index{Giza}

The deprecated C application, \texttt{satid} from the \texttt{\gls{sattools}}
package can help identify \glspl{satellite}.
See figure \ref{fig:satid-giza-3}, page \pageref{fig:satid-giza-3}
for output from my Giza port of \texttt{\gls{satid}}.%

See the Detection chapter for details on identification with stvid.
The detection and identification steps are both done in one script.
