Description

This Xcos block plots passes of satellites, celestial bodies, airplanes, etc over a specified ground station. First input defines the ground station and is formated according to GROUND_STATION

block output. Mask is indicated by a ring (by default brown) around the centre of the plot. Trajectories are drawn only if elevation is greater than mask. For each object only the last pass over ground station is plotted to avoid confusion. Ground station attributes are printed in plain text.

Data types

Dialog box

Accept inherited events - if "0" block will have event input, if "1" it will refresh on inputs change

Ground station name - displayed name of the ground station

Trajectory names - displayed names of the passing objects (1xN matrix of string)
