Changes

  • Integration of Orekit types everywhere (interfaces etc.)
  • Replace long timestamps with Orekit's AbsoluteDate class.
  • Add line-of-sight for sat2sat and sat2gs visibility as report and on the map view.
  • Add visibility circles around satellites and ground stations (disabled by default, buggy for coordinates around poles, must be switched on in the preferences).
  • Rename "CKE Satellite" to "Custom Satellite".
  • Add more options to describe a new custom satellite's orbit besides Keplerian elements: Cartesian, Circular, Equinoctial.
  • The native orbit description of a custom satellite can be changed in its property page.
  • Show a TLE satellite's two-line data in its property page.
  • Add two Natural Earth II as selectable map images.
  • Performance improvements for long ground tracks
  • Remove (lame) Welcome page.

Notes

  • When creating a new (non-external) TLE satellite, the user must provide the spacecraft's name and copy the 2 TLE lines into the TLE text box. Previous versions expected 3 lines (name + data) and extracted the spacecraft's name automatically. The old behavior is no longer supported.
  • Previous workspaces are not compatible :-(
