Well, after a bunch of work and learning the first app is up for sale. Head on over to the app store and check out our first application (Space Station) that allows you to visualize the International Space Station's position over the Earth in either 2D or 3D. You can set options such as shading, viewing location and ground tracks to name just a few. More updates are on the way so make sure to check back often. |

HamSat is a visualization/utility application that allows you to see the location of amateur radio satellites tracked by NORAD
in realtime over the Earth (up to two satellites may be tracked simultaneously). You can see the Earth rendered either as a 3D globe or a 2D map using photo realistic texture maps for the Earth model. The orientation of the map is easily changed by a simple rotation of the device from portrait (3D) to landscape (2D). In either orientation you can zoom in and out as well as pan using the touch screen. Controls are given to allow you to select: the texture maps used, whether shading is performed, whether to draw political boundaries and if a lat/lon grid should be presented. In addition, the application can calculate the rise/set times for a selected satellite, the Sun or the Moon given either the user entered or network retrieved location. |
