Found by an audit of the replace-semantics commit rather than by the change itself. The success count added orbital and transceivers sources together, so one could stand in for the other. With the built-in sources replaced there are two requests instead of 28: if the operator's TLE URL was down and SatNOGS answered, the count was 1, no exception was raised, and setUpdateSuccessful stamped a fresh timestamp for an update that refreshed no orbital elements at all. That also suppressed the 48-hour auto-update retry, which keys off that timestamp - so the operator was left with stale orbits, a screen saying the update worked, and nothing scheduled to correct it. The failure existed before this rebuild, but 26 other sources masked it. Narrowing the source set made it easy to hit, which is why it belongs with these commits rather than in a backlog. Orbital sources are now counted on their own. A test covers the exact case: transceivers answers, the custom TLE URL does not, and the update must raise rather than record success. Also: an upload that found nothing waiting said "Uploaded 0 QSO". Accurate, but it reads oddly when the queue was already clear, so that case has its own wording now.
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.
