SatTrackPredictor Tool

Use this tool to predict a satellite’s position relative to a ground station. The tool plots the satellite’s future waypoints (purple dots) up to 1 hour ahead. Click on any of the purple satellite waypoints to view detailed data, including Azimuth and Elevation, at specific times. This information can be used to complete the StationBooker Tool.
