![]() It even has similar controls because, well, we're dealing here with the sky, orbits and time. DeBenedictis started with SkySafari, a sky chart app previously reviewed here at TMO, (given a 5/5 rating) and then found that his code was a stepping stone to further adventures with this satellite tracking app. That's exactly what's happened to Tim DeBenedictis at Southern Stars Software. It's also the official app for the Kickstarter Sk圜ube mission.Įvery once in a while, a developer is blessed to have developed a mathematical and code architecture for a technical app, only to find that it is uniquely suited to a brand new (but related) app. You can follow along in orbit, with the satellite, see what it looks like, look at the ground track from space or watch it pass overhead from your location on the ground. This universal iOS app will tell when they pass overhead and where they are right now. The frequencies shown, when provided, are those captured by enthusiasts or informed by the official organizations of disclosure.Satellite Safari is a realtime, visual guide to hundreds of satellites in orbit. Note and Frequency: Filled with additional information where possible. To this happens the satellite should be positioned about 36 thousand kilometers in altitude. Because this is the same time it takes Earth to complete one turn on its axis, geostationary satellites appear static on the same geographic point. Geostationary satellites have a period of approximately 1436 minutes with inclination of 0 degrees (equatorial orbit). The lower the altitude of a satellite, more speed he needs to keep in orbit and not re-enters the atmosphere. The International Space Station, 350 km above the surface, completes its orbit in 90 minutes. ![]() Satellites in polar orbit, positioned at 800 km in altitude will take approximately 102 minutes to complete one revolution. Period: Value in minutes that a satellite takes to complete one orbit of perigee to perigee. One Perigee value equal to the value of Apogee indicates a circular orbit satellite. The figures shown already discounting the radius of the Earth, 6378 Km. Perigee: Highest approchement between the object and the center of the Earth. When the inclination is less or equal latitude of the place of observation, the satellite be seen directly if conditions permit.Īpogee: Maximum distance that the object is far from the center of the Earth. When the inclination is 90 degrees its orbit crosses the terrestrial poles and are called polar orbiting satellites. Satellites with inclination of 0 degrees follow the equator line and are called equatorial orbit satellites. Inclination: Angle formed between the orbit of the satellite and terrestrial line of the equator. The number indicates the record of the satellite in the Norad archives. Norad: North American Aerospace Defense Command, the Air Defence Command of the United States, responsible for the catalogue of objects in orbit. In some cases the official name ends with the words R/B, meaning that it is a piece or any stage from some rocket booster. Satellite: This column shows the name of the object in orbit. The table above shows the main parameters and information available for this satellite.
