Hi Chris,
Use InstantTrack
Satellite Covisibility -- InstantTrack shows you when satellites can see other satellites (i.e., when crosslinks are possible), when satellites are in eclipse (in the shadow of the Earth), etc. This display, of course, updates in real-time, so you can see crosslinks appear and disappear.

Hi all,
Strange question, I guess partly related to wanting to work AO-7 later
this
year. How do you know, or calculate whether a satellite is in sunlight
even
if the prediction programs shows it to be out of sunlight on the map?.
I.e. will the satellite be illuminated even though the earth in the
coverage
area is not?
I hope that makes sense?!
Also, I have been trying to look in the archive and work out exactly when AO-7 will be in what mode during the passes over my QTH.. I try and use
the
Planet Emily site and Oscar.dcarr.org, but it appears to be mainly in mode
A
more then B?
Finally, has anyone heard the beacon from her recently?
Many thanks,
Chris
