To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
I am testing an HTTP server that is dedicated to ham radio..
Those with mosaic (with form capability) can try it out at
http://jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca:7000
In the "SPACE" section, there is an option to get the latest
satellite keps... This option will let you compute satellite
trajectories based on info that you enter using the pull down menus.
Another thing I wrote is an online callbook which executes an
expect script to search for a callsign but that has been done
already and isn't very exciting..
The guts to the keplerian element thing I wrote was from "n3emo orbit"
..... a very much hacked apart orbit. It outputs in HTML format
and runs in batch mode using a single command line argument as
provided by mosaic using the "GET" option in the forms..

TrakSat 3.00 or something earlier? I've run 2.7, 2.8 and 3.0, and
it appears to me that 3.0 takes a step backwards. OK, it's completely
re-written in C, and it has nice pull-down menus plus a couple of new
[relatively small] features, but it's slower than 2.8, the map it draws
for ground-tracks is distorted (stretched out vertically), AND it's buggy
(it crashes my PC easily if I make minor configuration errors). I have
a list of a number of bugs that I'm about to send to the author, along
with registration money for version 2.8!
I'm sticking with version 2.8 for now! TrakSat 2.8 is clearly my
favorite tracking program, and I've tried most all of the publicly
available ones at one time or another (though I must admit PCT is pretty
nice too).
Anyone else have similar experience with the "new" TrakSat?
