A satellite tracking system and method, a three-point peaking technique is used to determine the direction of a satellite 50 which includes a signal source. A Kalman filter is used to minimize the effects of noise in the received signal during the three-point peaking operation. This determination may be made at any time. Once the position of a satellite 50 has been determined twice over a time interval, its future position may be estimated by an adaptive continuous step track technique, using a Kalman filter, which assumes that the satellite moves uniformly with time as viewed from the antenna.
