NAME

GPS::SpaceTrack - Package for calculating the position of GPS satellites

SYNOPSIS

  use GPS::SpaceTrack;
  my $obj = GPS::SpaceTrack->new(filename=>"./gps.tle");

DESCRIPTION

CONVENTIONS

Function naming convention is "format of the return" underscore "format of the parameters."

CONSTRUCTOR

new

The new() constructor passes paramaters to the filename() method.

  my $obj = GPS::SpaceTrack->new(filename=>$filename);

METHODS

getsatellitelist

The getsatellitelist() method returns a list of Net::GPSD::Satellite objects. The getsatellitelist() method is a wrapper around getsatellitelist_rad() for data formatted in degrees instead of radians.

  my $list=$obj->getsatellitelist({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #degrees, degrees, meters, seconds from epoch
  my @list=$obj->getsatellitelist({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #degrees, degrees, meters, seconds from epoch

getsatellitelist_rad

The getsatellitelist_rad() method returns a list of Net::GPSD::Satellite objects. This method is basically a wrapper around Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE.

  my $list=$obj->getsatellitelist_rad({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #radians, radians, meters, seconds from epoch
  my @list=$obj->getsatellitelist_rad({lat=>$lat, lon=>$lon, alt=>$hae, time=>$time}); #radians, radians, meters, seconds from epoch

filename

Method to get or set the filename of the TLE data.

  my $filename=$obj->filename;
  my $filename=$obj->filename(filename=>$filename);
