Abstract

The movement of the satellite, spacecraft or space station is in orbiting the earth especially in Low earth orbit (LEO). The location of the satellite, spacecraft or space station can be determined based on latitude and longitude. The spacecraft is modeled as a rigid body with N as symmetric wheels controlled by axial torques and the kinematics are represented by Modified Rodriquez Parameters. The trajectory denoted the reference trajectory, is one generated by a virtual spacecraft that is identical to the actual spacecraft. Nowadays, there are two space station in the low earth orbit which is International Space Station (ISS) and Mir (Russia). This project develops software that can be used to calculate the current and future positions of the International Space Station. Also, the software that developed can make pass predictions and track the realtime location of the ISS in the earth orbit.
