ASD05 Look Angles

[@TOK178]

I was able to understand all the steps to calculate the elevation and azimuth angles. But then I was wondering, why my results did not exactly match with my real values. Then, it became clear to me that the formulas can only be valid for an inclination of 0 degrees. Since there are not so many satellites with an inclination of 0 degrees, it would have been interesting to know how to calculate the look angle of different inclinations. Greetings from Abu Dhabi.

Thanks Greg for this easy understandable lesson.

HI, Greg. Love your tutorial, very good

Very cool. I'm not a programmer, but this explanation was excellent. Does anyone know of an online model where multiple (earth stations) points on the earth can be plotted to show how their azimuth / elevation vectors intersect with a single satellite? This may sound silly, but what I am trying to demonstrate is that this model would not work on a flat earth. It requires curvature in order for the math to work. I have a flat earth debunking channel and I would like to use this in an upcoming video.

hello Greg. Thank you for the tutorial. I followed your tutorial and wrote a code in C language to calculate the azimuth and elevation angle for my project and it worked. But I need some help. Basically what I wanted to do is to make a small 2-axis of rotation device which can directly point to the current position of the International Space Station. And according to the formula that you have taught in the lecture, the pointer will always point when the satellite is on the horizon. But I wanted it to point to the ISS even if it is below my horizon. Can you please help!

very good, i love the video. After your lecture several doubts are clarified

What is it? Hmmm talking angle
