Track at scale
Follow many satellites from multiple observer locations, limited only by the computer running Gpredict.
Open-source station control
Real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction.
Gpredict is a free desktop application that brings maps, polar plots, pass predictions, and station hardware control into one flexible workspace.

Core capabilities
All the tools you need, in one place.
Track satellites, predict passes, and control your station from one focused workspace
See every angle
Arrange maps, tables, polar plots, and detailed single-satellite data in the layout that fits your station.
Plan the next pass
Predict upcoming passes and inspect timing, direction, elevation, and event details before acquisition.
Control the station
Connect radios and antenna rotators through Hamlib tools for Doppler tuning and automated pointing.
Modular workflow
Build the view around your station.
Gpredict groups satellites into independent modules. Each module can use its own observer location, satellite set, time mode, and combination of views, docked in a notebook, detached into a window, or taken full screen.
- 01
Choose a module
Organize the satellites and observer location for a specific station, operating session, or mission.
- 02
Compose the layout
Combine map, list, polar, event, and single-satellite views without changing the underlying data.
- 03
Track in your time
Work in real time, simulated real time, or manual time control for planning and review.
