Ham Radio Satellite Tracking Software for the Mac

MacDoppler

MacDoppler for Cocoa was re-written from the ground up to take full advantage of all the great Cocoa capabilities in OS X on PPC as well as Intel hardware. MacDoppler will provide any level of station automation you need from assisted Doppler Tuning and Antenna Pointing right on up to fully automated Satellite Gateway operation.

MacDoppler for Cocoa carries on the rich tradition pioneered by MacDopplerPRO which is in use around the world by Amateur Radio operators, satellite spotters, educators and commercial customers from CBS News to the International Space Station Amateur Radio Hardware Management program, Delta Telemetry Tracking and Control at Boeing Integrated Defense Systems, Florida State University, and the CalPoly CubeSat Project.
