When the program is
running, in-orbit satellite constellation is displayed at user’s choice. By clicking on a single satellite
image on the interface screen, the detailed information of the satellite is
presented.
In-Orbit Satellite Database (ISD) and program provides detailed information
and statistics of satellites in geo-stationary orbit. The information
includes spacecraft properties and communications system characteristics. The
in-orbit satellites are also related to their ITU filings. The transponder
frequency plans and footprints are presented in graphics. Annual subscription of ISD allows you
obtain detailed, accurate and timely information about the status of
geo-stationary orbit.
