Long: Multi-tasking satellite tracking program. This application contains an implementation of the NORAD SGP4 & SDP4 satellite orbit models, in order to give visibility predictions for any orbiting object for which NORAD two line elements are available. A recent set of elements is included, along with information on obtaining updated sets in the future. ---oOo--- sstv.spk 408k sstv.txt Short: Slow-scan amateur TV and radio Fax application. Long: Slow-scan amateur TV and radio Fax application. This is the receive-only PD version, and the transmit version is available on payment of a registration fee.
