ISS Transit Prediction Change Log ================================= V5.2: Updated CelesTrak ISS Supplemental URL V5.1: Fixed issue when loading .cfg file when metric = yes. Removed "meters if metric" from .cfg file elevation comment V5.0: Added capability for users to select any transit satellite by NORAD ID. Added satellite.cfg file to store user added satellites. Changed user and options file format from binary to text. Fixed planetary transit path widths to take into account apparent diameter of planet. Updated calculation of Delta-T. Should be good until 2050. V4.13: CelesTrak Supplemental TLE is now the default download source V4.12: NASA has taken spaceflight.nasa.gov offline. They are no longer providing Two Line Elements. This update adds an option to use NASA provided ephemeris state vector data from data.nasa.gov to generate Two Line Elements. The NASA option requires additional TLE.iss data to be downloaded. Refer to the optional data section in Help. Options have also been added to use CelesTrak TLEs. System Requirement update: Java 1.8 V4.11: Fixed end of year rollover issue V4.10: Fixed spaceflight.nasa.gov URL V4.9: Added User TLE file switch (-t) to Command Line Mode Updated www.space-track.org access to accept session cookie Help updated V4.8: Updated to add Lunar Sunlit/Shadow options Format of options file updated (User required to re-enter options on first run) Help updated V4.7: Updated goo file generation to use default Google Maps user interface which includes option for displaying a "Terrain" Map Minor help page updates V4.6: Cleaned up warnings in source code Build since V4.5 only work with Java Runtime 1.6 or better V4.5: Updated digital signature for another year Updated to the latest versions of the following libraries: Java 3D 1.5.1 (vecmath) Java Help 2.0_05 Swing Worker 1.2 Swing Layout 1.0.3 V4.4: Now supports command line mode with the following options: java -jar ISSTransitPrediciton.jar -d -f -o V4.3: Updated digital signature for another year V4.2: Fixed bug when attempting to generate pre-launch Space Shuttle predictions V4.1: Changed maximum Solar Elevation for Planetary Transits from -8 degrees to -3 degrees Fixed "Path Width" label in plot files Added confirmation window when creating prediction directory for the first time V4.0: Added Spack-Track.org direct login/TLE retrieval capability Fixed problem in plot files for user specified km V3.8: Added support for transits by satellites other than the ISS. Added support for retrieving the current Space Shuttle mission Two Line Elements directly from the NASA website. Added satellite selection to Transit Satellite/TLE source selection window: ISS, Space Shuttle or Satellite from user TLE file. Added satellite selection/TLE Source/transit bodies/min elevation angle to prediction text file. Updated the Help Set for new capabilities V3.7: Added prediction options which allows the user to select which planets are used for transit prediction generation Added prediction options which allows the user to select the minimum ISS transit elevation altitude Updated the Help Set for new prediction options window Fixed problem when generating plot files for various European locales Fixed problem when user specified an empty TLE file V3.6: Added indication if NASA TLE file has been updated since last run Added capability for user to select TLE file source from local computer Added TLE Span and TLE Age indications Added Warning if Two Line Elements are out-of-date Programs now displays a warning window (in addition to the text in the information window) for the more serious warnings Old TLEs are now properly removed from downloaded NASA TLE file Corrected a problem in which sometimes the prediction would complete prematurely. Updated the Help Set for new capabilities V3.5: Changed the view prediction window font from "Courier New" to the more universally compatible "Monospaced", Now allow the optional DEM filenames to be either UPPER or lower case to be more compatible on operating systems where filenames are case sensitive, Program now checks the size of the DEM file, and prints out a warning message if it's not correct, V3.4: Added capability to view the prediction text file from the main window. V3.3: Initial Release.
