Authors of the Debian Package
-----------------------------
This package was debianized by Bdale Garbee <bdale@gag.com> on
Tue, 14 Dec 1999 19:21:47 -0700.
It was downloaded from ftp://ftp.amsat.org/amsat/software/Linux/.
The predict-g1yyh version includes patches offered by John Heaton,
G1YYH, that were downloaded from http://voyager.mcc.ac.uk/Predict/.
Authors of PREDICT 2.2.3
------------------------
Lead developer: John A. Magliacane (KD2BD) <kd2bd@amsat.org>
SGP4/SDP4 models and sun/moon position algorithms used in this version
of PREDICT were derived from "satcom-08", written by Neoklis Kyriazis,
5B4AZ, and released in 2002 under the GNU General Public License. Parts
of "satcom-08" were derived through a translation into 'C' of SGP4 and
SDP4 code written originally in FORTRAN and Pascal by
Dr. T.S. Kelso. Dr. Kelso's code is available on his web site at
http://www.celestrak.com/.
Socket-based server code and the "map" client application were
contributed by Ivan Galysh, KD4HBO on 10-Jan-2000.
PIC/TRACK antenna rotator control code was contributed by Vittorio
Benvenuti, I3VFJ on 13-Jul-2000.
The "gsat" client was contributed by Xavier Crehueras, EB3CZS.
The Perl client demonstration program was contributed by Rich
Parry, W9IF.
The WinPredictClient was contributed by Steve Fraser, VK5ASF.
The concept of using "xearth" as a graphical display for PREDICT
was originally conceived by Wade Hampton (that later developed
into "earthtrack").
Many others have contributed code to the project, including
Bent Bagger OZ6BL, Tom Busch WB8WOR, Steve Fraser VK5ASF,
Xavier Crehueras, EB3CZS, Takeshi-Okazaki (Satellite Engineer
for MTSAT-1R (HIMAWARI 6)), and others.
Calculations for squint angle were adopted from trk-0.4.1 by Lapo
Pieri, IK5NAX.
PREDICT is also the product of many others who have contributed
bug reports, bug fixes, helpful suggestions, and positive support.
