SatTrack is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit propagation
-program with an X11 color world map tracking chart. It provides
+program with an X11 color world map tracking chart. It provides
two different live displays, for single or multiple satellites,
-and two different orbit prediction modes. Cursor controls used in
-the numerical live displays are compatible with the VT100 standard,
-which allows the program to be run basically from any terminal
-without the graphics display. If the program is run from an X Window
-terminal, the realtime graphics display can be started up. It will
-show the location of any number of specified satellites like the
-Space Shuttle or the Russian Space Station Mir, featuring the circle
-of visibility for any selected spacecraft and for the primary and
-a number of secondary ground stations. Also shown are the ground
-track for the next three orbits, the black-out zones for communication
-through the TDRSS network, Mission Elapsed Time (MET), the terminator,
-spacecraft lighting conditions and other details. The world maps
-are provided in two different styles with four different sizes
-each. Program SatTrack is particularly interesting for the upcoming
-Shuttle - Mir rendezvous missions.
