Description
OSCAR: Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio.Some satellites carry radio repeaters that can be used by amateur radio from the ground.
This application helps the amateur to know the real time position of these satellites.
It shows on the map the position of the satellite, semi circle representing the approximate coverage as well as the user's position.
You can switch from the menu the selected satellite.
From the menu visible passes shown a window with two buttons on the top.
Pressing the right (circular arrow) visible passes are calculated for the selected satellite within 24 hours.
Pressing the left (arrow circular dot in the center) visible passes are calculated for all satellites for the next 3 hours.
Clicking on one of the visible passes entered the 3D locator.
3D Locator.
The locator uses accelerometer, the compass of the device and the calculated data to show the position of the satellite on sky from observer's position.
That is, when we moves the device to the sky shows a red triangle in the position of the satellite and a dotted line showing the pass.
The app calculates the orbits from the current time of the device and TLE data that www.celestrak.com obtained.
The internet is used to get the maps and update TLE data.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
