The results are shown in table 1. Maximum differences between TrakStar and Micro Orbiter 3.0 . Finally, there was no difference in azimuth or range between the two programs, but there was a difference in elevation, which was inversely proportional to the elevation. This result is probably due to the fact that TrakStar models atmospheric refraction at standard temperature and pressure and Micro Orbiter 3.0 does not. Overall, a very good performance by Micro Orbiter 3.0.
Installation is a snap, taking less than five minutes to get it up and running.
The interface is professional and graphics are excellent, rivaling even some Windows-based packages. It features a wealth of map projections and options for configuring them which, although cumbersome to access via hot keys, are easy to access via pull-down menus.
