Very impressive! And useful to me. I already added a link to this on my private home page and this is quite an honor as I only add about one link per year. Of course I already have a simple feature request. Please allow me to specify lat/lon in the URL as heaven's above does. I want to be able to add something like &lat=40.5&lon=70.5 as I do with heavens-above. You could have a "bookmark" button or something where it creates the url for me. Similar to google maps. And a question - my understanding is that heavens-above only does *active* iridiums but the inactive ones flash just fine also. Also heavens-above only does antenna flashes and not panel flashes (the program iridflar does active, inactive, antenna and panel). Do you do the inactive iridiums and do you do solar panel flashes? And have you removed the tumbling iridium(s)? - George Roberts http://gr5.org -----Original Message----- From: satrack@libero.it Sent: Sunday, January 30, 2011 7:23 AM To: seesat-l@satobs.org Subject: New Web Site for Realtime Sat Tracking Dear list, I am glad to announce that I started a new experimental service on my web site for online satellite tracking. The service allows users to track satellites, to predict their passes and flares completely online. It is possible to predict Iridium flares or see them either in realtime or in simulated time. The service is interactive and it allows the user to change the time to see future or past events. Flares are represented graphically, particularly, it is possible to see the flare ground track, which can help the user to identify the best location (flare centre) for the observation (theoretically even at street level). New functions are already planned and should be added soon. The service is optimized for Firefox and Chrome. The following links allow the user to track the ISS, the NanoSail-D and the Iridium Satellites, respectively: http://digilander.libero.it/SATrack/VisualSATFlareTrackerOnline.html?q=Iss http://digilander.libero.it/SATrack/VisualSATFlareTrackerOnline.html? q=Nanosail http://digilander.libero.it/SATrack/VisualSATFlareTrackerOnline.html?q=Iridium The service is still experimental! Your comments, suggestions and bug reports, will be very precious!
