Constellation

Shows a graphic containing the satellite constellation’s current distribution in the sky in relation to the observer.

 

 

Each satellite’s name has the <Constellation> <Name> format. Satellites belonging to the NAVSTAR constellation are shown in blue with the letter G and those of the GLONASS constellation are shown in red with the letter R. The ones in bold type are active.

 

The different concentric circles comprising the constellation indicate elevation intervals of 20 sexagesimal degrees. The current elevation mask is shown with a thicker stroke, so that any satellites beyond it are not used to calculate the position.

 

Data such as name, azimuth, elevation and signal/noise relationship of the satellite selected are shown in the lower part when the drawing is clicked.
