Hello, Over the past year or two, I've seen postings about various shuttle and/or satellite tracking programs. I've kept plenty of those messages, but most of my info is out of date; When I went to anonymous ftp from those sites, either the site was no longer anon ftp, had moved its files to another archive site, or something. I would like to compile a list of programs which track the trajectory of a satellite, rocket, space station, or the shuttle. After I compile the list, I'll post it to here. Please send me whatever info you have about any such programs. Give me info like a description of the program, its name, author, where I can get it, sites where such programs live and thrive, or whatever you know. Also, if you know what language it's in (if the source is available), what machines the code will run on, whether it requires graphics, or it just gives numbers, or both. I am particularly interested in programs which take into account the oblateness of the earth, friction from debris in low orbits, or related articles in journals about simulations taking those higher order approximations into effect. Thanks in advance. Please send your replies to: gt5431b@prism.gatech.edu, mikeg@warhol.gatech.edu, mike@penguin.gatech.edu, mg27@cadnext7.gatech.edu, ...uunet!gatech.edu!penguin!mike ...uunet!gatech.edu!prism!gt5431b or whichever address your mailer most easily recognizes.
