Notes

Setup

  • Dependency installation via pip:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  • In order to be able to use ground_track.py, download earth.png into this directory.

Usage

  • Plot the ground track of satellite based on it's TLE around the epoch:

    ./ground_track.py ../examples/sathyabamasat.txt

  • Calculate and plot satellite passes (requires a site.txt)

    ./pass.py ../examples/sathyabamasat.txt $ST_DATADIR/sites.txt -s 7300 --starttime 2019-11-06T19:30:00

  • Adjust a TLE to a new launch time

    # Data from https://community.libre.space/t/electron-its-business-time-launch-this-weekend-irvine-01-amateur-payload/2819/4
$ ./launchtle.py ../examples/irvine01.txt 2018-11-11T03:00:00 2018-11-11T04:05:00
