# Look4Sat: Radio satellite tracker
Ham radio and weather satellite tracker and passes predictor inspired by [Gpredict](http://gpredict.oz9aec.net/) from [Alexandru Csete, OZ9AEC](https://github.com/csete).
Using the mavenized version of [predict4java](https://github.com/davidmoten/predict4java) lib under the hood created by [David A. B. Johnson, G4DPZ](https://github.com/g4dpz) and [Dave Moten](https://github.com/davidmoten).
Amateur radio and weather satellite tracker and passes predictor for Android.
The very app creation and design is hugely inspired by the open-source [Gpredict](http://gpredict.oz9aec.net/) desktop satellite tracking application, created by [Alexandru Csete, OZ9AEC](https://github.com/csete) and contributors, supported by the [Libre Space Foundation](https://libre.space/).
The [Libre Space Foundation](https://libre.space/) team is also behind the epic [SatNOGS](https://satnogs.org/) project that provides an extremely easy to use [API](https://db.satnogs.org/api/) and [DB](https://db.satnogs.org/) with a huge amount of information about satellites, their telemetry and transmitters, which the app uses under the hood.
For TLE data calculation and passes prediction Look4Sat uses the mavenized version of [predict4java](https://github.com/davidmoten/predict4java) library, created by [David A. B. Johnson, G4DPZ](https://github.com/g4dpz) and [Dave Moten](https://github.com/davidmoten). Thank you guys for your hard work making this lib efficient and easy to use!
The app is built using Dagger2, Retrofit2, Kotlin and Kotlin coroutines, Architecture Components and Jetpack Navigation.
