I'm not sure about SatPC32 but with orbitron if I remember correctly it may mean that the satellite is going into eclipse?

Joel,

A satellite on the map can be different colors, depending on the background, to make it visible. For instance, against a white background such as the polar regions, it is red. Perhaps elsewhere, though I did not look. Is that what you are seeing?

For the life of me, I can neither remember nor find why a satellite shows up in red on the display in SatPC32. Can someone point me or kick me in the head?
