AmSatRepository labelled columns by calendar date but filled them by slicing a
rolling 72-slot window ending at fetch time. The two timelines coincide only
near 23:59 UTC. At common fetch times the status grid lied about dates:
UTC 00:00: 72 / 72 slots under the wrong label
"today" column contained all of yesterday
UTC 12:00: 36 / 72 wrong; every column straddled two dates
UTC 13:37: 30 / 72 wrong
UTC 23:59: 0 / 72 wrong (the accidental alignment case)
Anchor the six columns on UTC midnight instead. Every SatDay now covers exactly
[day 00:00, next day 00:00), split into twelve 2-hour slots newest-first so the
UI's existing first-non-gray lookup still chooses the latest daily report.
A standalone Java probe porting the old arithmetic reproduced the 72/72,
36/72 and 30/72 mismatches. Porting the new formula gives 0/72 mismatches at
00:00, 12:00, 13:37 and 23:59 UTC.
Also restore core:data's unit-test compilation. DatabaseRepoTest's fakes were
stale after IRemoteSource gained AMSAT methods and ISettingsRepo's zero-arg GPS
setter became suspend; the whole data test suite previously could not compile,
so data-layer regressions were untestable. Updated the fake members and verified
:core:data:testDebugUnitTest plus :core:data:compileReleaseKotlin BUILD
SUCCESSFUL. The product code does not use org.json in JVM tests because Android
org.json stubs throw there, so the date math remains verified by the standalone
same-JVM probe rather than a misleading mocked parser test.
Look4Sat: Satellite tracker
Radio satellite tracker and pass predictor for Android, inspired by Gpredict
Track satellite passes with ease!
Thanks to Celestrak and SatNOGS you have access to over 9000 active satellites.
You can search the entire database by NORAD Catalog Number or the satellite's name.
Orbital positions and passes are calculated relative to your location.
To get reliable data make sure to set the station position via the app Settings.
The application is built using Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose and Navigation.
It is now and always will be completely ad-free and open-source.
Main features:
- Predicting satellite positions and passes for up to 10 days
- Showing the list of currently active and upcoming satellite passes
- Showing the active pass progress, polar trajectory and transceivers info
- Showing the satellite positional data, footprint and ground track on the map
- Custom TLE satellite data import is available via Three Line Element .txt files
- Offline first: calculations are made offline. Weekly TLE data update is recommended.
