Description
The aim of the project is to develop a user-friendly and easy to use app for Android that will familiarize the user with the (artificial) satellites that orbit the earth and perform the orbital mechanics calculations to predict the position of a satellite in real-time. The app will also be able to show the satellite position on GOOGLE MAPS in real-time, as well as its future trajectory. Based on augmented reality, the app allows to display the current position of the satellite over the sky of the observer (ZATDROID app’s user). The application will be available in several languages and will support different screen sizes and resolutions.Other information

Companies and markets:
The proposed application aims to serve as a guide to visualize the sighting of artificial satellites with a telescope. For example, the International Space Station, which is the best known artificial satellite. Moreover, it aims to assist in the installation of antennas showing the position (latitude, longitude, azimuth and elevation) of satellites whose signal needs to be picked up and provide close and real information about satellites, which will encourage interest and curiosity about space and satellites.
Advantages:
1. Integration of multiple information technologies in a single Android app: georeferencing, augmented reality, XML app development, user interface design for mobile devices, concurrent and distributed programming. 2. Development of a multilingual app (English and Spanish) for mobile devices that allows: a. Position any satellite on GOOGLE MAPS in real-time (latitude-longitude). b. Locate in the sky (of the observer) the satellite being tracked, using augmented reality. 3. Tracking of any known civil satellite (more than 1,600 satellites), offering users different search filters: by name, by type or by their current visibility. 4. Migration of the original Fortran library (with some improvements to the compiled revision in c) used for the orbital calculation of the propagation of the position of a satellite to the Java language for use in ZATDROID
