Real-Time Amateur Satellite Tracking Maps

[Moleculo]

We've added a new feature to the site: real-time amateur satellite tracking maps. While there are several great pieces of software and a few sites that offer this functionality, there weren't any that gave you a quick visual overview of where all of the main satellites are. I found myself clicking way too many times to see which satellites were coming into range, so I created a page for the site that shows all of the main satellites at a glance. It also shows the primary use frequencies.

Check it out: http://www.worldwidedx.com/sats.php.

You'll also notice that there is a new "Satellite Maps" link in the navigation bar above, as well as a new "Ham Satellite Maps" link on the homepage in the Site Navigation section. If we're missing any important satellites, or if you spot any errors, please let us know!

Enjoy!

thank you,

I was trying to track all this info down over the last couple weeks. Now it is all in one place.

Are you freqs. correct for ISS?
Are they for APRS and voice or .....?


Additionally I found something weird, when I click on the link to go to AMSAT, all the links point to PCSAT at AMSAT.

Thanks

The ISS Frequencies are just the standard repeater frequencies. All of the other frequencies are listed on Amsat's page but keep in mind that they aren't all available all of the time. I believe the APRS frequency is available at all times, but the others depend on how the crew has the radio set at the time.

Cool science.

I just updated the page with the latest satellite that has become active for Amateur use: Sumbandila Oscar 67 (SO-67)
