Wrong Geostationary satellites Az El computation #322
Comments
This may be also related to Celestrak URL change. By the way, could you add two references for 'new' Galileo satellites into galileo.cat ? 49809 73 de Bernard, f6bvp |
Of course new Galileo satellite may be added by editing file ~/data/sat data/galileo.cat 49809 |
By the way is there any objection about updating .cat satellite catalogs by automatically collecting new object reference while reading TLE .txt files ? |
While debugging I found that new satellite files are actually created but corresponding satellite numbers are not appended at the end of corresponding .cat file. |
After a new Gpredict source download, compilation and install I found that satellite .cat files where correctly updated for galileo satellites I am interested in. |
While Windows 2.3.37 version performs correct Az El coordinates for geostationary satellites such as METEOSAT-10 (MSG-3) and METEOSAT-11 (MSG-4)
it is not the case on Linux Ubuntu 2.3.72 Gpredict version.
Computation of Az El coordinates are wrong.
However after updating METEOSAT TLE after downloading TLE from
http://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/weather.txt
and updating from local filet
Az El coordinates are then correctly displayed !
Conclusion : TLE updating from Internet is failing to read correctly weather.txt file.
However QO100 geostationary satellite Az El coordinates are correctly computed on Linux as well as on Windows version !
Az : 150.02° El : 29.51°
as compared to Windows :
Az : 150.12° El : 29.54°
