When a satellite comes into view the scheduler will automatically run the commands written in the AOS text box in the scheduler. Track NOAA 15, then you’d set the Satellite name to NOAA_15.ġ9. First enter the name of the satellite you want to track in the Satellite name text box, making sure to replace any spaces in the name with underscores. Here we need to set up the scheduler instructions. In SDR# ensure you have set the PPM offset correction properly and then press Play and go to the Tracking DDE Client plugin. Go to the Extra tab and ensure that “AOS Notification: Make satellite active” is checked.ġ7. (Increase the elevation if you only want to start tuning to the frequency when the satellite is higher in the sky andġ6. Go to the Miscellaneous tab and ensure that AOS Notification: Show Notice is selected, with the elevation set to 0. Go to the Main Tab in Orbitron and click on the Setup button (looks like a crossed hammer and spanner).ġ5. Double clicking on a satellite name will select it and show it in the mapġ4. For NOAA weather satellite images we are interested in NOAA satellites 15, 18 and 19, as they are the only satellites working, so place a check next to those. Next click on Load TLE and load the noaa.txt or the weather.txt text file, or the file for whatever other satellite you are interested in tracking.ġ2. You can select your city on the right side if you don’t know your exact longitude and latitude.ġ1. Set your home location, by clicking the location tab on the bottom. This is the drop down box in the lower right of the panel.ġ0. Now open Orbitron and in the main tab set the refresh interval to 1 second. SDRSharp=C:\sdrsharp\SDRSharpDriverDDE.exeĩ. Here we assume you’ve installed SDR# to C:\sdrsharp.

You may also wish to select the Synchronize PC clock when Orbitron starts checkbox if your PC isĦ. Setup screen click on the Time Synch tab, and click on the Synchronize PC clock button to automatically synchronize the time. Orbitron comes with a method to synchronize your PC time to the NTP servers, which provide accurate time. In order to have Orbitron accurately track the satellites it is important that your Windows PC time is accurate. Setup screen, then you can get to it by clicking on the Setup icon, in the main Orbitron tab.ĥ. Running Orbitron in Administrator mode is important, as otherwise the TLE files may not be able to be written to. The TLE filesĬontain the satellite orbit information and will need to be periodically updated every few days.

Press Alt+Enter to exit full screen if you wish. Open Orbitron in Administrator Mode (if in Windows Vista/7/8), by right clicking it and selecting Run as Administrator.

Download the SDR# Orbitron DDE tracking and scheduler plugin from (note that this site is in Russian, so please use Google Translate if necessary). Also, although not entirely necessaryįor the RTL-SDR, Orbitron will also help to compensate for the satellite frequency drift that occurs due to the doppler effect.Ģ. This is great for unmanned monitoring stations. By using a program called Orbitron, SDR# can be made to automatically start and tune to NOAA and other satellites as they appear on your horizon.
