ESA's space debris video
Hello all,
In the wake of this weekend's damage to the ISS robotic arm by debris impact, I thought I'd share this excellent plot from ESA:

This is why any satellite launch is facing ever-increasing scrutiny on the subject of orbital debris.

Tired of missing passes so looking for a way to paper print list of AOS times for sats in 24 hr period. I was sure Nova did that but cant find the link spot or maybe satpc32 does it.
Any software out there for simple quick printouts
WINAOS - Is part of the SatPC32 package. It will do just what you want.

I'm sure InstantTrack had a print option.

Also Gpredict, which has a graphical presentation of satellite visibility vs time.

Hello Bill,
An alternative is http://amsat.org.ar/pass , select there which kind of sats you want (can be done clicking on the colored ovals) or select preferred sat or sats clicking on +/-Sats and then click on the print icon, you will get a one page printout either in local time or GMT for your location.

Orbitron has this. I like the format it uses.

The iPhone app I use has a button to add a pass to my calendar. It also sets an alarm. The one I tend to use these days is on the www.vosworx.com page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiHCGxV0WM8 Is a quick start video. I find the calendar add feature incredibly convenient. 73, Will KW4WZ

1st suggestion -- Save paper and use KlaTrack: https://g0kla.com/klatrack/index.php
2nd suggestion -- The WinAOS utility in SatPC32 will allow you to prepare a schedule that can be printed.

Well I got a lot of new ones to pick from now. Thanks to all who replied it was very helpful.
One thing it did show me was there were more suggestions for hand held devices than my old school desktop. So was the conservation remark about no paper.
I am going to use Klatrack for now, something I had on the desktop but slipped my mind in all the icons on there.
Thanks again
For Nova, you would go to Utilities and then Listing. Go to the Setup button to update the times of interest and satellite of interest and then click on whatever tab you want to use and click on ReCalc. You can then Send data to the printer or capture data to the clipboard using the buttons at the bottom of the window. Good luck. SatPC32 also works well as others have pointed out. 73,Charlie Sufana AJ9N In a message dated 2021-06-07 22:57:13 Eastern Standard Time, ve3nxk@gmail.com writes: Tired of missing passes so looking for a way to paper print list of AOS times for sats in 24 hr period.

Back in the old days, that is what I would do with Nova. Then import that into an Excel Spreadsheet so I could sort and print it the way I wanted. I would generally do a week or two at a time. Personally I have little interest in trying to replicate that on my phone. I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but a phone is NOT a replacement for a PC. I use multiple smart phones every day, so it's not that I don't know how to use a smartphone.
