“Are you a space junkie? Do you follow NASA as if it were the
only real source of science and information? Or are do you just
have a need to know where satellites are positioned at any given
moment? For whatever reason, there are plenty of people out there
who want or need to track satellites. For those who have never done
so, but would like to give it a try, where would you start? A good
place to start would be having an application that would allow you
to track satellites.

“Of course the open source community (having a penchant for the
sciences) would have such a tool. One of those tools is Gpredict.
Gpredict is an incredibly simple to use tool that will allow anyone
to track multiple satellites quickly and easily. In this article I
am going to show you just how to install and use this wonderful
tool.”
