Key Features & Capabilities
Designed for Antenna Control Unit (ACU) software development, this software development kit provides precise estimation, orbit calculations, and communication simulation for tracking equatorial MEO and other satellite constellations.
Provider Approved
Approved by satellite service providers for production deployment.
ACU Software Development
Specifically engineered for Antenna Control Unit (ACU) software integration.
SDB Network Ingestion
Reads TLE data, satellite schedules, and channel info from System Data Broadcast (SDB) files via FTP/RSYNC.
Orbit & Propagation Calculations
Estimates precise satellite coordinates, expected path delay, and receive Doppler.
Earth Modeling & Corrections
Supports spherical and oblate earth models with corrections for atmospheric refraction and station altitude.
Cross-Verified Performance
TLE extracted parameters are verified against established industry tools like Gpredict.
Linux OS Compatibility
Ensures quick system integration across embedded Linux architectures.
Open MIT License
Full source code is made available under the permissive MIT license.
ACU-Modem Simulation
Includes an auxiliary software module that simulates ACU-to-Modem communications.
Constellation Adaptability
