Operating amateur radio satellites effectively requires precise knowledge of their orbital mechanics and pass times. Gpredict, a real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction application, addresses this need by allowing operators to monitor numerous satellites simultaneously. It displays critical data such as position and pass details through various visualizations, including lists, tables, maps, and _polar plots_. Unlike many other satellite tracking programs, Gpredict introduces the concept of visualization modules. These modules enable users to group satellites and configure each group independently, offering unparalleled flexibility in how orbital data is presented. This modular approach supports tracking satellites from multiple observer locations concurrently, which is particularly useful for stations with diverse antenna setups or remote operations. Originally a GUI client for John Magliacane's _Predict_ program, Gpredict evolved to integrate its own tracking code for improved performance. The software is distributed under the GNU General Public License, ensuring it remains free and modifiable for the amateur radio community.

The program calculates the actual position of the satellites using the NORAD 2LINE-element set, which is available via the Internet, for nearly all satellites. The position is then displayed in 3D-view as well as in 2D (mercator) view, where the footprints are also be shown.

Satellite Tracking/Orbital Prediction Program an open-source, multi-user satellite tracking and orbital prediction program written under the Linux operating system by John A. Magliacane, KD2BD. PREDICT is free software

qrpTracker is a satellite tracking program that works on the popular and easy-to-program Arduino platform qrpTracker is meant for amateur satellite enthusiasts and computing hobbyists

JSatTrak is a Satellite tracking program written in Java. It allows you to predict the position of any satellite in real time or in the past or future. It uses advanced SGP4/SDP4 algorithms developed by NASA/NORAD or customizable high precision solvers to propagate satellite orbits.

KlaTrack is a Windows-based software application designed to assist amateur radio operators with satellite communication by predicting spacecraft visibility. It provides a simple interface to determine when specific satellites will be above the local horizon, a critical factor for successful two-way contacts via amateur radio satellites. The program processes _Two-Line Element_ (TLE) data to calculate orbital mechanics, offering a practical tool for satellite operators to plan their operating windows. It supports real-time tracking and displays essential pass information. This utility simplifies the complex task of satellite tracking, allowing operators to focus on making contacts rather than manual orbital calculations. While specific gain figures or distances are not quantified, the software's core function directly supports achieving successful satellite QSOs by providing precise pass predictions. It is particularly useful for operators engaging in activities like working the International Space Station (ISS) or other low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, where short pass times and precise timing are crucial for maximizing contact opportunities.

The Greencube Terminal Program enhances communication with the Greencube/IO-117 satellite by enabling message exchange via a PC's soundcard and integrating with multiple loggers like ACLog and Cloudlog. It supports new contact identification through an ADIF file, featuring a color-coded "Dupelist" for tracking unconfirmed contacts and grids. The software is compatible with voice notifications for efficient satellite communication management.
