[Orekit Users] how to calculate iss passes
Hi,
I'm trying to calculate iss passes over Rome and I start from propagation
tutorial and I write this code
(https://gist.github.com/anonymous/fb939c0df8e6a72282eb27cc76840ac9).
But if I compare the rise and set date with the Heavens Above prevision
(http://heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=25544&lat=41.9028&lng=12.4964&loc=Roma&alt=53&tz=CET)
I don't find a match:
My code finds:
Visibility on station1 begins at 2017-02-23T14:06:33.974
Visibility on station1 ends at 2017-02-23T14:12:28.528
Heavens Above calculates:
23 Feb - 12:48:03 10° NNW 12:50:12 16° N
12:52:20 10° NE daylight
23 Feb - 14:24:14 10° NW 14:27:21 37° NNE
14:30:26 10° E daylight
23 Feb - 16:00:50 10° WNW 16:03:44 29° SW
16:06:36 10° SSE daylight
Note that Heavens Above times are in CET timezone.
Can you help me where my error is?
Thanks,
Matteo
