Hi,
I'm just writing an IARU Locator App at the moment. Once I've done that, I'll have the gound-station location sorted.
I've already ported Predict SGP-4/SDP-4 to Java (in use by Genso) so I think the next step should be relatively straightforward.
You can check-out the code for the algorithm using subversion from:

I've seen satellite tracking software that works for portable operations such as the old Palm Pilots and also on smartphones that have Windows Mobile or Palm OS.
The new Droid phone on the android platform looks really interesting and I was wondering if anyone knew if
The aforementioned apps would work on this OSI have a G1, which also runs Android. (I also work at a shop that does smartphone programming.) Palm is a very different programming environment from Windows Mobile, and both are quite different from Android, although both WM and Android are Java based, they won't run each other's programs.
Are there any satellite tracking apps specifically made to run onthe Android?
Not yet. None that I'm aware of, anyway. It's on my list, but someone else will probably get to it before I do. That's what usually happens.
