Gawd I hate this. The amount of time I spent writing code and reviewing physics to get an automated cinetheodolite to track stars and satellites, and then take precise measurements and determine lat/long/alt down to 1 meter resolution in the pre GPS days.... well, it was over 50,000 lines of code.
I wonder if they've cribbed some of my 1980's era code for this purpose. I *did* release the satellite tracking code as open source, simply because I had added on to someone else's open source code.
Ah well.. At least I can say I did it back when it was very hard !
