Harvey,
I intended to release an android app that would allow you to map ARISSat-1 and receive the telemetry for it. However, I never did put the finishing touches on it and publish it <grin>. I did show it to a few AMSAT people though and they seemed to like the idea. My implementation consisted of a 2D map view using the Google Maps API. There were options to control the rendered tracks, including:
- minutes before / after to show
- number of tracks to show
- how often to update
I would like to turn this into a generic tracking app down the road. This app would only provide a 2D map, to start out. Some features I wanted to add include:
- ground footprint of satellite
- one-touch-predictions
Are you a developer? Would you be interested in helping out with it? If you have not done mobile development before, maybe think twice :-) It's Not Easy.
Let me know, Joseph Armbruster
