Gpredict is a real time satellite tracking and orbit prediction program for the Linux desktop. It uses the SGP4/SDP4 propagation algorithms together with NORAD two-line element sets (TLE).
Some core features of Gpredict include:
– Tracking of a large number of satellites only limited by the physical memory and processing power of the computer
– Display the tracking data in lists, maps, polar plots and any combination of these
– Have many modules open at the same either in a notebook or in their own windows. The modules can also run in full-screen mode
– You can use many ground stations
– Predict upcoming passes
– Gpredict can run in real-time, simulated real-time (fast forward and backward), and manual time control
– Detailed information both the real time and non-real time modes
– Doppler tuning of radios via Hamlib rigctld
– Antenna rotator control via Hamlib rotctld
Requirements ------------ Gpredict is written using the Gtk+ 3 widget set, which is available for most Unix like operating systems, Mac and Windows. Following libraries are required for successful compilation of Gpredict: - Gtk+ 3 or later - GLib 2.32 or later - GooCanvas 2 - Libcurl 7.16 or later - Hamlib (runtime only, not required for build) If you compile Gpredict from source you will also need the development packages often with -dev or -devel in the package name, e.g. libgtk-3-dev. On Debian and Ubuntu systems you can install the build dependencies using: sudo apt install libtool intltool autoconf automake libcurl4-openssl-dev sudo apt install pkg-config libglib2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libgoocanvas-2.0-dev
