37 of 51 System Screens
The Satellite Table screen has two tabs, which determine how the table is displayed. The Satell ite Table tab
displays the full satellite table while the Working Table tab displays only the satellites s elected by the
operator for the working table.
Both screens allow the operator to order the displayed table by clicking on the column on which t he table is
to be sorted. For example, clicking on the Sat Num column will sort the table by satellite num ber in
ascending order. A second click on the Sat Num column will sort the table by satellite number in descending
order. Any column in the display may be used to sort the satellite table. The column selected will the n
display a >> (ascending) or << (descending) symbol to indicate the column sort order.
The Reload Satellite Table right click option allows the operator to save the current satellite table to a local
file. This save will overwrite the currently loaded local satellite table that was uploaded when the br owser
was first initiated. This allows the operator to save updates and modifications to a local file.

Satellite Table Screen
The satellite table contains all the satellites in the database, including the satellites that are select ed as
working satellites. The operator may select a satellite in the satellite list and then right click on it and select
add to the working table option. That is the only operation that may be made from the satellite table tab
screen – other then sorting the table. If the satellite data needs to be modified, the satellite entr y must be
moved into the working table before that entry may be changed. The only data that is displa yed in the
satellite table with a satellite entry is the satellite NORAD ID, the satellite name, the satellite long itude, and
the visible flag. Entries that are in black font are visible satellites while entries that are in red font are
satellites that are not visible from the current site location. (See Figure 28 .)
