About:
Gpredict is a feature-rich, real-time satellite tracking and prediction application for Linux, Unix, and macOS. It uses orbital data from the TLE (Two-Line Element) format to calculate satellite positions and future passes. The tool is highly modular and supports antenna rotors, radio equipment control, and multi-satellite tracking.

Key Features:

Real-time orbital prediction and tracking
Support for antenna rotors and radio control
Multi-satellite and multi-ground station support
Modular, extensible architecture

Use Cases:

Amateur radio operators tracking satellites for communication
Educational demonstrations of orbital mechanics
Planning and visualizing satellite ground tracks and passes

Alternatives:

Gpredict – Gpredict is a modern, modular C-based app
Orbitron – Windows-only, popular alternative with similar features
gpredict2 – Legacy version, superseded by current Gpredict
