DX Jungle - Satellite Tracking
Real-time amateur radio satellite tracking with Doppler correction and WebSDR integration
Description
The DX Jungle SatTracker is an interactive online tool designed for real-time amateur radio satellite tracking. It incorporates live Doppler correction, AMSAT satellite status, and pass predictions for various active amateur radio satellites such as ISS, SO-50, FO-29, and RS-44. The platform calculates real-time uplink and downlink frequencies, adjusting for Doppler shift, and displays satellite footprints and orbital paths on a map interface. Users can select specific satellites and input their grid square for localized pass predictions.
This service integrates WebSDR support, allowing users to listen to satellite passes live without requiring a physical radio, and offers Companion radio control capabilities. Orbital data is sourced from CelesTrak, while radio frequencies are derived from AMSAT and SatNOGS. The interface provides options to filter for FM repeater-only satellites and displays active passes, ordered by the next available pass, facilitating timely operational planning for satellite enthusiasts.
