Re: volunteering (Mobile Satellite PAPER Predictor)
... The small piece of paper that my proposal outputs is a single
piece of paper with about 10 numbers on it, no bigger than about 2" by 3" suitable for taping to your dashboard above your radio.
Then take your pencil, and write it out ...
In my AMSAT presentations, I show both graphical representations of sat passes, as well as pure numeric data. My audiences much prefer the graphical representations. So, what you are requesting may not have a "market share" as great as you might think.
This reminds me of the old Internet wives tale about the development of the space pen. You remember ... The story goes that America spent millions of bucks to develop a writing implement suitable for space travel. But what did the thrifty Russians do? Used pencils ...
It is not a true story, of course: Both manned space programs used pencils at the beginning of their projects. But it makes a good Cold War story for the U.S.
ANYWAY - There are several online (and FREE) sources for the info you seek ... as well as commercial programs that will generate the info. Want to slap something on your visor? Geeze, just write it out ... or cut and paste ....
Curmudgeon-ly yours,
