Open Source ChromeOS Astronomy Software

PreviSat is a satellite tracking software for observing purposes. Very easy to use, it shows positions of artificial satellites in real-time or manual mode. PreviSat is able to make predictions of their passes, predictions of MetOp and COSMO-SkyMed flares, transits of all satellites, predictions of Starlink satellites passes and several other calculations.

VStar is a multi-platform, easy-to-use variable star observation visualisation and analysis tool. Data can be read from a file or the AAVSO database, light curves and phase plots created, period analysis performed, and filters applied. Plugins can be developed, e.g. to make additional observation sources available.

SITools2 is a new CNES generic tool performed by a joint effort between CNES and scientific laboratories. The aim of SITools is to provide a self-manageable data access layer deployed on already existing scientific laboratory databases.

BoPlanets is a virtual planetarium showing the planets relatively to any observing planet. The planets can be viewed in ecliptical-, equatorial- or horizontal view. The times of rise, transit and set of a planet can be determined. Click on the link below to the web site of BoPlanets to see the help file of BoPlanets.

Java program for computations with values expressed in terms of physical or other units. Supports complicated mathematical expressions and user-defined functions. Invoked from scripts, line command, or as GUI. Extensive units data base.

MobileStarChart is a MIDP1.0/2.0 midlet for Java-enabled mobile/cell phones or handheld device. It simulates whole sky at any point on earth with constellations, stars up to 6 mag, solar systems and some other celestial objects.

MpcReader retrieves comet and asteroid orbital data in MPC format from the web and store it on your computer in different formats. The data is fetched from the MPC. The main job of MpcReader is to convert plain MPC data to the format needed for KStar

Numerology diagram creator with aim to ease making numerology interpretations.

Project Galileo at Sourceforge.net aims to provide developers a unique opportunity to develop open source software for an on-line telescope for schools across the UK. See http://www.projectgalileo.org.uk for more details.

QuantimSim is a physics simulation engine. Some aspects of astrophysics, electromagnetism, relativity, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics will be included in the simulation library.

It is a cross-platform astronomical software, with plug-ins support. A object-oriented library for astronomy and a graphic interface. C++, graphical tools-kit is wxWindows.
