Bagas31: Orbitron is a satellite tracking software designed for amateur radio and visual observers. It is also used by meteorological professionals and satellite users. The program shows the positions of the satellites at any given moment (both in real time and in simulation mode). The program is free (Cardware) and is considered one of the easiest to use and at the same time the most powerful satellite tracking programs.

The program uses NORAD SGP4/SDP4 prediction models to calculate satellite orbits. The program can load up to 2000 satellites from a TLE (two-line elements) file and track all of them simultaneously. The program also supports tracking of the Sun and Moon. The program has various display modes: full screen, presentation, cartographic and others.
The program has a simple and convenient interface in Russian & English. The program runs on Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP / 2019 / 2016 / 2012 / 2008 / 2003 / 2000. The program has minimum system requirements: 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, 10 MB free disk space. The program offers a shareware version with a 30-day limit and a paid version without restrictions.
To use the program, you need to launch it and select your location from the city database or enter the coordinates manually. Then you need to download the TLE file with satellite data or update it via the Internet. Then you need to select the satellites of interest from the list or search for them by name or NORAD ID number.
The program allows you to view the positions of satellites on a world map or on the celestial sphere in the program window or in full screen mode. The program also allows you to obtain various information about satellites: altitude, speed, azimuth, elevation, distance, phase, visibility and others. The program also allows you to add notes for each companion.
The program allows you to search for satellite passages over a given location and Iridium flares in a given period of time. The program also allows you to synchronize your computer clock with precise time via NTP (Network Time Protocol). The program also allows you to control the rotor/radio (using built-in or custom drivers) to tune the antenna to the satellite.
