PreviSat is able to make predictions of their passes, predictions of MetOp and COSMO-SkyMed flares, transits of all satellites, predictions of Starlink satellites passes and several other calculations.

Aciqra is a virtual planetarium and sky mapping program which tracks celestial bodies including planets, deep sky objects and stars to an accuracy of a fraction of a degree for thousands of years into both the future and the past. It includes the 2.5 million stars of the Tycho-2 catalog supplemented by data of 120,000 stars from the Hipparcos catalog, 13,000 deep space objects from the NGC and IC catalogs and a large number of asteroids and comets from the Minor Planet Center. The program is platform-independent and can be made to work on most modern computers that support OpenGL.

Ham's Actor is a software for radio hams. Is a bundle of many functions and tools, so you just have to have one software. Functions: Log Book, GrayLine, satellite tracing, contesting, maps, callbook, and so on...

Java software that predicts transits of any satellite, including the International Space Station, across the moon and sun, and close encounters with Mercury thru Saturn.

extra astronomical / calendar / epoch features that mathematica does not have. has many new functions. supports multiple calendars (julian, gregorian, synodic, anomalistic). supports JDN conveniently, shows moon phase est. NEW: supports day number from 0 of any calendar conversion all-way between supported calendars supports multiple epochs and epoch generation. convert between some epochs without calendar support, ie, J2000.0, JDN, to some effect can create/import epochs and use TAI clock << Months`Months` {PrettyDate[], PrettyDate[calendarChange2[Date[], gregorian, julian], julian], MoonPhase[]} {"Sunday, July 13 2014. 2:37:04 p.m. -4 GMT", "Saturday, Iunius 30 2014. 2:37:04 p.m. -4 GMT", "Full Moon"} timeDeduce, a minor extra: deduce and show other times / angles, using time eqn. input: GMT,lon,tz,arieslon output: input + SHA,Ra,LHA ; in dn,tm or ang (for historic reasons files are also in https://sourceforge.net/projects/periodictablemm/)

SIGPROC - a collection of signal processing programs developed for pulsar data reduction has been developed and maintained since 1999. The package is used to search for and visualize the presence of pulsed signals in noisy radio astronomy data.

SolarBeam is a desktop application for drawing solar diagrams. You supply the geographical position, it draws a diagram showing the Sun's trajectory over your location at various times of the year. It also shows the times of sunrise and sunset.

This program calculates critical curves and caustic curves for gravitational microlensing studies with an arbitrary number of stars using the analytic Witt method.

The Mars Rover Simulator project is based on the evolutionary robotics paradigm where an artificial agent acquires its skills through the process of artificial evolution. This simulator can be useful to evolve neural network controllers for the rover

MoonPlanner is a Java calendar that allow to view moon's phases, moon's signs (constellations in which the moon is), and show the part of the plant corresponding to each sign (flower, fruit, leaf or root). For every calendar's day the user can attach notes (that are stored in a persistent database). At the startup the program will remind you if there will be notes for current day. Timezones and localizations (En, IT) are supported by the application. This calendar is usable between 1900 and 2020. This tool can be useful to plan gardening tasks or to view some astrology informations. References and requirements: - JRE/JDK version 1.5 or later must be installed on host computer. - UI are made using SWT by Eclipse (see http://www.eclipse.org/swt/). - The software uses AstroLib library version 1.1.5 provided by Mark Huss to calculate Moon's phases (http://mhuss.com/AstroLib.html). - The software uses Apache Derby 10.9.1.0 (http://db.apache.org/derby/) as embedded database.

Parallel Spectral Deconvolution is a multithreaded ImageJ plugin for spectral image deblurring.

This library is used to calculate the position of a satellite or the moon on any geographical location on the earth's surface. The Library is writte in C++ and OOP. The Actual Status of the Library can download from the svn-repository. On my website oe5tpo.com can you find infos about satpos, but this infos are all in German!

AstronomicalAlgorithms is a FREE portable ANSI C implementation of some of the algorithms published in Astronomical Algorithms by Jean Meeus (2nd edition, December 1998, Willmann-Bell ISBN 0943396638)

CRUSH is a pioneering reduction and imaging suite for many astronomical cameras operating at far-infrared, submillimeter and millimeter wavelengths, such as SHARC-2, SCUBA-2, LABOCA, GISMO, or SOFIA/HAWC+ (to name a few).

DSPSR is a high-performance, object-oriented, digital signal processing library for radio pulsar astronomy. It implements an extensive range of algorithms and features, and can read data from most observatories, instruments, and file formats.

A client program compatible with the INDI standard (see http://indi.sourceforge.net) for remote telescope and device control. It works under Windows as well as Linux. It is writen in Python and uses the GTK in order to display the GUI.

Iridium flares prediction application

Fixed width data files are probably the most annoying data to import into database. This utility allows user to insert user-defined column separators into user-defided positions of flat file table given in fixed-width format. I am using this utility to import astronomical catalogs provided as flat tables at CDS ftp-server into postgresql; Build: $ make all [cc={icc|gcc}] Install: $ make install [prefix=/path/to/your/bin/directory] Example of usage: $ gzip -dc table.dat.gz | fw2csv --stops=4,10,11,20,30,36 -d '|' -header 1 | psql wsdb -c "copy mytable from stdin with csv delimiter '|'" For the list of available options call $ fw2csv --help
