Satellite Tracking Using a Mobile 8” Aperture Telescope June 26th, 2006 Justin O’Brien University of Colorado at Boulder

Why Mobile Satellite Tracking? Information Gathering –Precision tracking means imaging capability –We would like to know… What is the satellite looking at? What isn’t it looking at? –Provides operational information to the war fighter Asset Protection –Dispersible Targets –Deployable –Effective

Mobile Tracking Dependencies Global Positioning System USNO Master Clock Time NORAD Two-Line Element Sets Lucky Imaging

The Equipment LPI Imager Meade 8” LX200GPS Dell Laptop Satellite Tracker Application Two Incredibly Handsome and Intelligent Operators

Finding the IFOV and FOV Instantaneous Field of View (IFOV) – The number of arcseconds per pixel Field of View (FOV) – The visible angular area (arcseconds squared) Steps: 1.Find Known Angular Separation of a Double Star 2.Image the Double Star 3.Calculate IFOV and FOV

Satellite Tracker What It Needs: USNO Master Clock Time Exact Location Coordinates and Altitude Current Two Line Element Sets Aligned Telescope What It Does: Predicts Satellite Passes and Visibility Computer-Controlled Satellite Tracking Receives User Input to Adjust Tracking
