    The document provides instructions for an exercise using Satellite Toolkit (STK) software. Students are asked to: 1) Create an STK scenario from March 16-30, 2015 centered on Annapolis, MD; 2) Insert various satellites including PCSAT-1, ANDE, TechSat1b, and ISS; 3) Use STK to predict visibility passes for the satellites from the location and note details of passes visible during an upcoming class period; 4) Record details on eclipse and sunlight times for PCSAT-1; 5) Examine and report on orbit elements for the satellites. Completing the exercises will familiarize students with STK functionality.

    Orbits Lab 2 Using STK

    Follow all instructions in this exercise to familiarize yourself with Satellite Toolkit. There are
    several exercises you must complete for submission.
    Exercises: Complete the following exercises by performing prescribed actions and answering
    questions.
    a. Insert satellites, describe orbits and calculate accesses:
    1) Create a scenario and set the start time to be local noon on of March 16, 2015 and end
    time starting 24 hours later (this will ultimately be 2 weeks later).
    1) Insert a ground facility at Annapolis Maryland using the STK Database
    (Maryland_1_Geolut).
    2) Insert the satellites listed below as well as ISS
    NASA
    Object #

    NO-62

    25397

    TechSat1b

    GO-32

    25544

    ISS

    ZARYA

    3) Using access and AER find out when these spacecraft will be in view from
    Annapolis during your scenario time (create a chart with times and sat names).
    Predict the passes of PCSAT-1, ANDE and GO-32 for the next two weeks (at an
    elevation above 10 degrees).
    4) When is the very next time such a pass occurs while your section is meeting during
    Aerospace class? Provide the local time and duration of the access as well as the
    initial Azimuth of each access (create a chart with times, sat names, and pass names).
    Describe the passes as N-S, S-N, W-E or E-W.

    6) Using the reports function examine the COEs Classical Orbit Elements for these
    satellites and record at least one line of data from this report and describe the orbits.
