Propagator.get_visible_satellites(tz='AEST', future_only=True, allow_overlap=True)

Get a list of current and upcoming radio amateur satellite passes.

This function gets its data from heavens above. Heavens above does not provide an official API and this function therefore scrapes the data from the website. It will break without notice if anything changes on the heavens above website. That is considered acceptable since this function is for information only and does not form any part of the core ground station software.

Parameters:tz (str, optional) – The timezone designator, or None for UTC.
