A program called satellite tool kit can do that. http://www.stk.com Here is an example of the output Time (UTCG) FromAngularRate (deg/sec) ---------------------- ------------------------- 4 Feb 2002 21:21:32.96 0.132678 4 Feb 2002 21:21:33.00 0.132700 4 Feb 2002 21:21:34.00 0.133260 4 Feb 2002 21:21:35.00 0.133823 4 Feb 2002 21:21:36.00 0.134390 You have to obtain a copy of the cd, buy going here. http://www.stk.com/products/order/order0.cfm Kevin From: "Steve Newcomb" <snewcomb@mail2.gcnet.net> To: "SeeSat" <SeeSat-L@satobs.org> Subject: Degrees per second travel Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2002 12:00:06 -0500 Viewed the ISS on 2/2/02 . I caught a quick view with an 8 inch reflector with a Dobsonian mount at 18.19.07 2 degree above Jupiter. Using a 40mm eyepiece I have a 1.4 degree (86 arcminute) field of view. Is there a program or formula I could use to compute the degrees per second travel of any satellite and how it varies with its elevation above the horizon and altitude? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
