PreviSat is a satellite tracking software for observing purposes. Very easy to use, it shows positions of artificial satellites in real-time or manual mode. PreviSat is able to make predictions of their passes, predictions of MetOp and COSMO-SkyMed flares, transits of all satellites, predictions of Starlink satellites passes and several other calculations.

Features

  • NORAD SGP4 model (Hoots, Roehrich, 1980; Vallado, 2006)
  • Real time / Manual mode
  • World map / Sky map
  • ISS Live and Wall Command Center visualization
  • Topocentric / Equatorial / Terrestrial coordinates (satellites, Sun, Moon)
  • Osculating elements, satellite information, ISS information
  • Weather for observer location and NASA bases
  • Intuitive interface (handling of orbital elements, selection of location, options for display)
  • Prediction of passes, MetOp and SkyMed flares, transits, Starlink passes and orbital events (very fast calculations)
  • Tracking with a Sky-Watcher mount
  • Antenna tracking for radio satellites
  • Satellite data search (all objects referenced by NORAD since 1957)
  • Information about next launches and recent decays
  • Management of the new orbital elements format (GP)
  • Dark mode
