A QUICK METHOD FOR GRAPHICAL PREDICTION OF SATELLITE POSITION
Abstract
A technique was developed for using equatorcrossing ephemerides to make specific station satellite predictions. This is done with the help of a gnomonic projection map and a satellite coordinate conversion grid. The predictions made by this method are of sufficient accuracy for most optical and radio tracking purposes. (Author)
