The satellite orbit predictor is a graphical aid for determining the relationship between the satellite (SARSAT or COSPAS) orbit, antenna coverage of the spacecraft and coverage of the Local User Terminal (LUTs). The predictor allows the user to quickly visualize if a selected position will probably be detected and is composed of a base map and a satellite track overlay for each satellite. Additionally, a table of equator crossings for each satellite is included. The table of satellite equator crossings contains the zulu date/time group that a satellite will cross the equator northbound, the orbit number, and the longitude that it will cross the equator.
