Full Name:
----------
  Space Tools

System Group Name:
-----------------
  stools

Type:
-----
  non-GNU software & documentation

License:

  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  STOOLS (Space Tools) will be a collection of useful software tools for
space related activities. It is not a project for space fans, but for
professionals of the space sector (like me). The project includes a graphical
environment that integrates all the tools.

The tools will include, among others:

 - An SP3 (orbital data file format) graphical editor.
 - Interface with GNU Octave (that will promote the use of
   Octave instead of Matlab, i hope).
 - An orbital mechanics library.
 - An orbital propagator.
 - A geodynamics library.
 - A ionospheric and trophospheric simulator.
 - Support for several interexchange formats used in the
   European Space Agency (RINEX, SINEX, TRONEX, ...)
 - Free libraries to be used on GPS and Galileo systems.


Btw, actually there isnt free software like that.

The program doesnt have a homepage yet. I uploaded the existing code to
http://es.gnu.org/~jemarch/downloads/stools/

Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Tcl interpreter and libraries
Tk libraries
MkWidgets tcl metawidgets library
GNU Octave libraries


Other Comments:
---------------
  There are some gif files on the snapshot i uploaded to es.gnu.org. All of
the gif files will be replaced with png ones before get uploaded into GNU
machines (i am writing quickly and i need to use the img tcl extension to use
png files). Anyway, i plan to use a different set of icons.

The source files on the snapshot do not have license notifications. Again, i
will add it before to upload it to GNU machines (the source code is not
officialy published yet. I uploaded it only for your convenience).b
