For everyone else however, there's not much enjoyment or interest to be had in Satscape, unless you just want to follow the International Space Station.
Apparently it issues voice warnings when a satellite is about to pass overhead and I can see how this could be useful for a TV satellite engineer on the ground here or other entity seeking to make contact with a satellite. Overall, Satscape felt way too technical and confusing for a newcomer to this kind of thing. There was no information about what the other satellite was supposed to be used for. While I was hoping to see a nice revolving image of the globe with all the satellites, lost spanners and astronauts orbiting it, all I got was a choice of viewing two satellites, one of which was labeled ISS, which I presume was the International Space Station. Although there are no further instructions, you then click either 2D or 3D view to see the satellites in action. The 'robot' asks you to configure your settings, although it's not particularly clear how you do this.Īfter changing very little, I entered my location in the Location tab and saved the settings. When you've finally dealt with all these access requests, the application can be launched from your desktop upon which you're immediately welcomed by a Steven Hawking-type voice. It requests unrestricted access to your machine which I'm not really keen on but hey, you have no choice if you want to use it. When you open the Satscape download file, a Java downloader retrieves the program from the Satscape database.
