This XLL contains functions for simple satellite orbit calculations.
  • Solve Kepler's equation given orbital elements
  • Models effects of EGM-96 J2 zonal gravitational constant
  • Coordinate vectors includes 3D position, velocity, and acceleration
  • Transform coordinate vector between seven coordinate systems
  • Compute satellite motion relative to Ground Site
  • Compute Ground Site motion given longitude, latitude, altitude, and Julian Day UT1
  • Models WGS-84 Earth ellipsoid
  • Compute ground antenna position, slew rate, and acceleration in both azimuth and elevation necessary to track the satellite
  • Compute and plot satellite track in celestial coordinates
  • Compute and plot satellite ground track
  • Compute and plot range, range rate and elevation angle history
  • Compute and plot range versus elevation angle
  • Compute and plot Doppler Shift and Doppler Rate history
  • Compute and plot Point-Ahead Angle and rate history
  • Compute and plot relativistic effects: time dilation, red shift, eccentricity, and Sagnac

Example workbooks with plots are included.
