mckero ed1fe66892 fix(geo): replace the clipLon while-loop with a modulo reduction
clipLon reduced longitudes by looping += 360 until in range. That never
terminates for extreme inputs: Infinity minus 360 is still Infinity, so
clipLon(Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY) hung forever (confirmed by a probe that had
to be killed), and a ~1e12 degree value took billions of iterations, freezing
the map thread. NaN came back as NaN either way.

A modulo reduction runs in O(1) and is bit-equivalent to the loop across the
whole finite domain: a probe sweeping -10000..10000 at 0.01 degree steps (2
million points) plus the boundary values -180/-179.999/0/179.999/180/180.001/
±360/±540 shows zero mismatches. The +180 boundary is preserved by mapping a
modulo result of -180 back to +180 when the input came from the positive side,
matching the old closed-interval behaviour (180 stays 180, only > 180 wraps).

Non-finite inputs return unchanged, so NaN keeps its previous semantics and
Infinity no longer hangs the caller.

New ClipLonTest pins the closed-interval values, the loop-equivalence sweep,
and the immediate return for extreme inputs (the last one hangs the suite if
the while-loop ever comes back).

Look4Sat: Satellite tracker

Look4Sat CI

Get it on Google Play Get it on F-Droid

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.
