P-Track also shows you the near real-time location and ground track of the International Space Station (ISS) and the latest NASA Two-Line Ephemeris used to calculate it's orbit. You also are able to view the current ISS velocity and the next time the ISS will be viewable over your location.
This App shows the current location, velocity, and a SkyView Plot of all 3 Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) GEO Satellites - CRW-135 (Intelsat Galaxy 15), CRE-138 (ANIK F1-R), AMR-133 (INMARSAT 4F-3), as well as all GLONASS Operational Satellites currently in orbit.
P-Track displays an up-to-date listing of NANUs (Notice Advisory to NavStar Users). NANUs include maintenance outages, maneuvers, and general GPS system status information.
Another feature of P-Track is a plot showing the current Ionospheric Activity. The data shown in this plot represents the VTEC (Vertical Total Electron Content) in units of TECU (10^16 electrons/m^2). Ionospheric delay can have a large impact on Satellite signal quality. The data shown here is provided by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration using a Kalman filter data assimilation model with a large network of ground-based dual frequency receivers. The latency in the data shown in this plot is 15 minutes.
P-Track now supports position, track, velocity, and flyby information for the following Amateur Satellites:
ALMASAT-1
RAX-2
SRMSAT
JUGNU
UWE-2
BEESAT
KKS-1 (KISEKI)
STARS (KUKAI)
HAMSAT
JAS 2
ITAMSAT
OSCAR 11 (UoSAT 2)
OSCAR 7
Many new features to come - I hope you enjoy this App!
