Gpredict is a real time satellite tracking and orbit prediction program for the Linux desktop. It uses the SGP4/SDP4 propagation algorithms together with NORAD two-line element sets (TLE).

Some core features of Gpredict include:

• Tracking of a large number of satellites only limited by the physical memory and processing power of the computer
• Display the tracking data in lists, maps, polar plots and any combination of these
• Have many modules open at the same either in a notebook or in their own windows. The modules can also run in full-screen mode
• You can use many ground stations
• Predict upcoming passes
• Gpredict can run in real-time, simulated real-time (fast forward and backward), and manual time control
• Detailed information both the real time and non-real time modes
• Doppler tuning of radios via Hamlib rigctld
• Antenna rotator control via Hamlib rotctld

KStars – высокоточный настольный планетарий, показывающий вид ночного неба из любой точки на Земле в любое время. Показывает 130 000 звёзд, 13 000 объектов глубокого космоса, все 8 планет, Солнце и Луну, и тысячи комет и астероидов. KStars предназначен для студентов и астрономов-любителей всех уровней.

База данных известных объектов может быть дополнена и обновлена из локальных или удалённых баз данных, которые подготавливаются в расширяемом пользователем интерфейсе. KStars предлагает наблюдения, представляющие особый интерес, например, соединения планет с учётом местонахождения пользователя. А для выбранных пользователем целей он предлагает цели с лучшими условиями наблюдения.

Это приложение можно использовать для планирования экспериментов по всему миру, например, для коммерческих услуг с дистанционным управлением. KStars также имеет интерфейс INDI для управления местными телескопами и камерами. Пользователи с навыками программирования могут создавать сценарии для него, используя шину рабочего стола KDE.

OpenUniverse (OU for short) is a fun, fast and free OpenGL space simulator. It currently focuses on the Solar System and lets you visit all of its planets, most major moons and a vast collection of smaller bodies in colorful, glorious and realtime 3D. If you've ever had a chance to visit Mercury or asteroid Geographos, here you'll find them looking exactly the same way, following exactly the same path as when you've left them.

Notice that OpenUniverse is not actively being maintained anymore and that users are recommended to use Celestia instead.

Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real-time. With Stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope.

Some features:

• default star catalogue with over 600 thousand stars,
• information about the brightest stars (spectral type, distance, etc.),
• downloadable star catalogue extensions, for up to 210 million stars,
• all New General Catalogue (NGC) objects,
• images of almost all Messier objects and the Milky Way,
• real time positions of the planets and their satellites,
• 13 different cultures with their constellations,
• artistic illustrations of the 88 Western constellations,
• very realistic atmosphere, sunrise and sunset,
• 7 panoramic landscapes (more can be made or downloaded from the website),
• scripting with ECMAScript,
• plug-in support: Stellarium comes with 8 plug-ins by default, including:
• artificial satellites plug-in (updated from an on-line TLE database),
• ocular simulation plug-in (shows how objects look like in a given ocular),
• Solar System editor plug-in (imports comet and asteroid data from the MPC),
• telescope control plug-in (Meade LX200 and Celestron NexStar compatible).

Stellarium should not be used for very high accurate calculation or ephemerids like eclipse predictions. However, it is the ideal program to prepare an observation evening with naked eye, binocular, or small telescope.

XTide is a package that provides tide and current predictions in a wide variety of formats. Graphs, text listings, and calendars can be generated, or a tide clock can be provided on your desktop.

XTide can work with the X window system, plain text terminals, or the web. This is accomplished with three separate programs: the interactive interface (xtide), the non-interactive or command line interface (tide), and the web interface (xttpd).

The algorithm that XTide uses to predict tides is used by the National Ocean Service in the U.S. It is significantly more accurate than the simple tide clocks that can be bought in novelty stores. However, it takes more to predict tides accurately than just a spiffy algorithm -- data are required for every tidal prediction location. This package provides a sample data set for only one location so you can try out the package, but anything useful requires the data packaged in the xtide-data package (or downloaded from the XTide ftp site).
