Software for satellite users. It provides visibility forecasts as a waiting delay and a visibility duration very quickly and all the time.
Ten (and even more) satellites can be monitored simultaneously.
The program is written to be run as a background task while you are running other programs in your PC or doing odd jobs.
If you specify it, when a satellite is approaching, a sound alarm will be sent. The program will be restored on screen if it was reduced in the task bar and the name of the approaching satellite will blink yellow for a quick view.
As soon as a satellite is visible, the name of the satellite blinks green; an alarm is optionally sent and the program window is restored on screen if it was reduced in the task bar.
When a satellite disappears, its next visibility is immediately computed and monitoring restarts for this new visibility.
For each of the monitored satellites, SAT_EXPLORER provides a detailed description of the next or current visibility, minute by minute: elevation, azimuth, range, altitude, position, phase and Doppler shift. You can choose to monitor a further visibility if the next one is unusable because of a too low or to short visibility.
Useful mostly to radio amateurs.
