EarthStation ------------ John Vinters, G7NSN 8-May-2010 Introduction ------------ EarthStation is a satellite tracking application written in Ada 2005 using the GtkAda library for display. The application uses the algorithms described by James Miller G3RUH in the article "Plan-13 Satellite Position Calculation Program" (read the article online at http://www.amsat.org/amsat/articles/g3ruh/111.html). Requirements ------------ * A reasonably recent GNAT Ada Compiler. EarthStation was developed using GCC GNAT 4.4.2. Versions of roughly this age or newer should work correctly. * GtkAda 2.14 or later. * FreeBSD or Linux. (Other BSDs may work, but are currently untested). EarthStation will currently compile and work under Windows, but this isn't really supported (or a priority) and may break in future.
