libgs.groundstation.GroundStationBase.start_track

GroundStationBase.start_track(nid_or_pdata, **kwargs)[source]

Non-blocking tracking. The antenna will be pointed as required but returning control while doing so.

It is implemented by spinning the track function off into a separate thread

Parameters:
  • nid_or_pdata (int or DataFrame) – The norad ID (if a propagator is installed, or a pass data DataFrame)
  • **kwargs – Any other argument to pass to track()
