Title: Geostationary views with elevation contours
Post by Admin1 on May 23^rd, 2020 at 7:36pm

I have made a new page today that should hopefully show views of the world with elevation contours for geo satellite orbit positions..
Example:

Please say if you can suggest anything.

Go here: Geostationary satellite elevation map
to choose your own orbit position and also animation possibility for fun..

Best regards, Eric.

Yesterday I updated the page mentioned above to show the 70 deg elevation contour and added a new page with polarisation / skew angles.

I have done a bit of work today on my page that draws images of the earth as it spins in space. You need to set your own choice of start position and then set it going.
Go to Planet earth rotating in space

This is what the page looks like:

I've taken out all the adverts and Facebook links that slowed the page down.

Hopefully the rotating image will work on small screen devices as well as desktop screens.

Best regards, Eric
