Satellite tracking program

Gpredict is a real time satellite tracking program for GNOME, based on the tracking engine of John Magliacane's excellent satellite tracker Predict.

Gpredict includes the following features: 

 * Tracking an infinite number of satellites only limited by the
   physical memory and processing power of the computer.
 * Display the tracking data in lists, maps, polar plots and any
   combination of these.
 * You can have many modules open at the same either in a
   notebook or in their own windows. The module can also run in
   full-screen mode.
 * You can use many ground stations. Ground station coordinates
   can either be entered manually or you can get some appriximate values
   from a list with more than 2000 predefined locations worldwide.
 * Predict upcoming passes for satellites, including passes where a
   satellite may be visible and communication windows
 * Very detailed information about both the real time data and the
   predicted passes.
 * Gpredict can run in real-time, simulated real-time (fast forward and
   backward), and manual time control.
 * Doppler tuning of radios via Hamlib rigctld.
 * Antenna rotator control via Hamlib rotctld.
