1 Introduction
This document describes the Satellite tracking support in version 2 of the SDR Console from
SDR-Radio.com. The satellite tracking is contained in its own DLL to ensure portability
across many applications.
This dll provides full support for satellite tracking:
Generation of standard satellite displays with the footprint superimposed on a map of
the earth,
Frequency correction to compensate for Doppler,
Automatic loading of Keplerian data,
List of next passes for selected satellites.
1.1 OrbitTools
The dll uses the public edition of The OrbitTools Libraries by Michael F. Henry, the condition
of use being that the application in which the dll is used is non-commercial, specifically:
The Public Edition software may be used free of charge for non-commercial
applications only; commercial users please contact the author for information
regarding the Standard and Professional Editions of the software. For more
