I use NOVA to have accurate to a minute pass predictions.
I use satscape for his graphics to show off  the gallery even if he 
bugs in 3D modes.
I use orbitron for his "intelligent" interface who runs hidden and 
prompt us when a satellite is in view.
I finally rely on STSPLUS as a space navigating tool... it give's me 
even doppler correction for both uplinks and downlinks.in real time.

The next step hunting for a program who will drive my rotors and 
correct doppler.
