Orbitron: Tracking Satellites Online
Orbitron is a small yet powerful program that allows one to view locations of satellites and even the International Space Station. The program is aiding Catholicgauze in finally finding out which satellite buzzes over home base at night. Combine this with Stellarium and one has a pretty handy astronomy suite.
