Our in-house tracking and monitoring, sheduling and control programs provide outstanding pin-point tracking accuracy far beyond our competitors. We have managed to create what we believe is the best tracking software on the market, TrackGUI, available at three different tiers to suit our users.
[ jump to ]
TrackGUI is our multimission software enabling users to track as many spacecraft as desired on a live dashboard whilst editing missions on-the-fly, even when Ground Systems are tracking.
The system accepts ephemeris data (CSV format) which can be streamed live or enque. The TrackGUI software comes as standard with all Antenna Systems and can be further enhanced with the AutoTrack and Mode Coupled Tracking add-ons, explained below in the tiers.
Our Track GUI satellite tracking software is Linux-based (with SNMP and XML support) and provides outstanding pointing accuracy by propagating two line element (TLE) data. Get in touch with one of our representatives today about TrackGUI and what it can do for you.

AutoTrack is our second level of advanced tracking. It’s an automated system which compensates for bad/old TLEs, orbital refractions, ground movement and time errors. This software add-on makes live positional adjustments to optimise the power of the signal received from any spacecraft and, when paired with the TE21 mode coupler, the phase can be optimised, making sure there are no breaks in data transfers.
We offer a mode coupled software solution, ModeCou, is added to the AutoTrack software, providing beacon-less tracking using TE11 and TE21 tracking signals that constantly keeps the system on bore-sight. This additional accuracy is particularly valuable at higher frequencies such as Ka, Q and V bands.
