CSSI Webinar: Visual Satellite Observing – Part 3: Solar/Lunar Transits
Think STK is all work and no play? Of course not. But if you’re looking for some extracurricular uses for STK or want to get some of the local kids excited about astrodynamics, you might want to consider using STK to plan some visual satellite observing sessions. This webinar focuses on solar and lunar transits, including sample ISS transits, theories, and how to create the STK scenario. The presentation will be followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A.
