Stellarium

Adding Satellite Ephemeris

Asked by Delmar Haddock

I am using Stellarium 0.10.6.1. In the Satellites plugin, I tried to add another line under the sources tab. I used celestrak.com but so far, I have not been able to add additional satellites. Do I need to make additional changes?

Yes, you need at add which satellites you want to the satellies.json file. The sources just lists urls which are downloaded to do updates from, not which satellites Stellarium tracks.

The satellites.json file is found in: <user data directory>/modules/Satellites/

In future releases I hope I make this process easier - that you can add satellites directly from the GUI, but this is not implemented yet.

Can you help with this problem?
