Description-en: Satellite Tracking Program with Optional Voice Output
This is a satellite tracking program. It is probably mostly of interest to
users of amateur satellites, but includes support for optionally announcing
azimuth and elevation to help in manual antenna pointing, or optical
observation of satellites.
.
The upstream predict sources include a front-end called 'map', which is
called predict-map in the Debian package.
.
The 'ntp' package is suggested because accurate satellite tracking depends
on precise knowledge of ground station time and location.
