Satellite Tracking Software SatTrack Release Announcement (February 14, 2026)
 
I created the satellite tracking software 'Sattrack'.
I started making it in mid-January and it took about a month to take shape.
I stayed up all night three times in one month, and I got so absorbed in it that my wife told me to slow down.

Aiming for the SatPC32, the basic form was modeled after the SatPC32.

Only ICOM IC-820H radio is supported, IC-9700 is currently being tested

However, there are still some minor bugs and changes to the specifications,
so it will probably take a little while before it can be released.
Satellite list and rotor control.
It has the function of tracking selected satellites in order.
It also has rotor control function.

Display is.
  • Satellite name
  • Countdown (time to AOS or LOS)
  • AOS time
  • LOS time
  • AOS direction
  • maximum elevation angle
  • Current direction
  • Current elevation angle

Doppler calculation and map display.
  • Satellite name Preset
  • You can select the frequency of that satellite from the presets.
  • Frequency (Doppler calculated frequency during AOS)
  • Display Mode from Preset
  • When using linear satellites, you can change the frequency.
  • The map will show the current satellite location


Feature details.
  • The frequency can be selected from the frequencies preset in the combbox.
    The configuration file is
    ./settings.ini
    ./Sat_files/DOPPLER_SatTrack.sqf
    ./Kepler/Nasa.all
  • Frequency displays the current frequency including Doppler
  • Manual Tune allows you to change the frequency when using linear satellite (SSB/CW)
  • Status shows the current status of the satellite
  • Graphical display shows satellite azimuth and elevation
  • The Rig Control button allows you to stop controlling the radio and operate the VFO directly.
  • The satellites being tracked are displayed on the map
