[Kstars-devel] [PATCH] Complete rewrite of satellites tracking system

[Jérôme SONRIER]

Hello,
 
Here is a patch which entirely rewrites satellite tracking system. 
Satellite position prediction is now based on the "Revisiting Spacetrack 
Report #3" paper (http://celestrak.com/publications/AIAA/2006-6753/) and 
don't use satlib anymore.
 
I have also add a new tab in options panel where you can update data and 
select satellites which should appear on the map.
 
Please, tell me what do you think about, and If no one is against, I 
will push this patch next week and remove the old system which is 
currently commented.
 
Note : You need to copy attached icons in "kstars/icons" directory to 
test the patch.


Regards,
