This program is designed to predict the tracks of satellites both as paths above the earth, and as images produced by these satellites when scanning the ground. It was designed for use during the early stages of my weather satellite receiving activities, when clouds and interference prevented easy identification of what I was actually observing! Read more about using WXtrack. The core orbit prediction elements are also available as a component that you can use in your own software. This program is free for amateur use, but if you do wish to say "thank you", or you want technical support, you should register WXtrack.

WXtrack can read processed satellite images from one or more folders of your choice, and present these images side-by-side with the ground track prediction. To make visual correlation easier, minute markers are produced on the predicted image to match those on NOAA APT transmissions. Because of the graphics used in this program, it really requires a display of 1024 x 768 resolution, but it will work on 800 x 600.
