Question 318

Which of the following are provided by satellite tracking programs?

  1. Maps showing the real-time position of the satellite track over Earth
  2. The time, azimuth, and elevation of the start, maximum altitude, and end of a pass
  3. The apparent frequency of the satellite transmission, including effects of Doppler shift
  4. All these choices are correctCorrect answer

Explanation

All three are standard outputs of tracking software, because they all follow from propagating the orbit against the operator's location: the ground track map, the pass predictions with times and look angles, and the Doppler-corrected frequencies. There is no reason a program computing the geometry could not report all of them.
