We have hosted the application previsat in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about previsat:

PreviSat is a satellite tracking software for observing purposes. Very easy to use, it shows positions of artificial satellites in real-time or manual mode. PreviSat is able to make predictions of their passes, predictions of MetOp and COSMO-SkyMed flares, transits of all satellites, predictions of Starlink satellites passes and several other calculations.

Features:

• NORAD SGP4 model (Hoots, Roehrich, 1980; Vallado, 2006)
• Real time / Manual mode
• World map / Sky map
• ISS Live and Wall Command Center visualization
• Topocentric / Equatorial / Terrestrial coordinates (satellites, Sun, Moon)
• Osculating elements, satellite information, ISS information
• Weather for observer location and NASA bases
• Intuitive interface (handling of orbital elements, selection of location, options for display)
• Prediction of passes, MetOp and SkyMed flares, transits, Starlink passes and orbital events (very fast calculations)
• Tracking with a Sky-Watcher mount
• Antenna tracking for radio satellites
• Satellite data search (all objects referenced by NORAD since 1957)
• Information about next launches and recent decays
• Management of the new orbital elements format (GP)
• Dark mode
