This website was designed to display and predict satellite overpass
information of Earth Observing Satellites (EOS). The main focus of
this site is to provide scientists with a tool to predict when and
where an EOS satellite will pass overhead at a particular ground
location. The prediction program was written by Donald Garber. It uses the
NORAD 2-line obital element (TLE) obtained from Celestrak. Although
the program uses the closest NORAD TLE, the accuracy of the prediction is
less reliable for the days further away from the epoch date in the NORAD TLE
