More information about the software

PreviSat software is used to track satellites for observation purposes. It is easy to use and shows the position of artificial satellites either in real time or manually. PreviSat allows you to predict their passes, forecast MetOp and COSMO–SkyMed flares, ISS transits, and many other calculations. PreviSat uses a modified version of the SGP4 algorithm (revised in 2006), which uses TLE orbital elements to calculate artificial satellites’ geocentric position. PreviSat can show satellites in either a world or sky map view. It is capable of calculating all passes for any satellite at any given location around the globe.

PreviSat is characterized by the following:

  • NORAD SGP4 model (Hoots, Roehrich, 1980; Vallado, 2006)
  • Real time / Manual mode
  • World map/Sky map
  • Visualizations of ISS Live and Wall Command Center
  • Topocentric/Equatorial / Terrestrial coordinates
  • Satellite information and osculating components
  • Weather for NASA bases and observator locations
  • Intuitive interface – handling of TLE and selection of location. Display options.
  • Prediction of passes and MetOp and SkyMed flares as well as ISS transits (very fast calculations).
  • Tracking using a Skywatcher mount
  • Satellite data search (all objects referenced by NORAD since 1957)
  • Available for Windows/Linux/MacOS X platforms
