![]() For starters we now have a master search tool bar which allows you to free form type the satellite, street address or place of interest or facility name, and STK will go out and search our licensed geocoder and our cloud-based data server for all the matches. With STK 10 we are moving that to the forefront. For years we have been collecting facility data, associated az/el masks and historical satellite data (TLEs). One of our goals for STK 10 was to start converting our community from a “create your data” mentality to a “select your data” mentality. Other users might not even realize that they can go to the TLE database and simply search for “imaging” satellites because they did not even know what the TLE database was and that the TLE database was a good place to look. Although very powerful and robustly implemented, all of that streamlining over the years primarily benefited the space community. Over the last 10 years, we had already started with things like reading TLE catalogs and creating Walker constellations, then we evolved to auto-updating the TLE catalog and providing the GPS almanac. But since our system is supposed to be broadly applicable, we took incremental steps to make it that way. Data availability STK originally had a “create your data” workflow as the default (pretty much the only choice other than external or real-time data) which was great and probably preferable to our space customers. ![]()
