I wasn’t extremely happy with the PC satellite control software out there, so I decided to do something about it. The process was quite a learning experience – it’s my first true multi-threaded GUI app (as opposed to the web apps I’m usually building) and I learned a lot about basic satellite prediction.

It’s based on bits and pieces of other open-source software out there, but
architected using a more modular approach with decoupling done through a series of event handlers set up as a bi-directional message bus. I release the code on Google Code and wrote an article for the AMSAT Journal (122.55 KB).
