The A-Train and STK





A four part presentation has been constructed that demonstrated the use of STK with a focus on the A-Train.
Part 1 Getting Started with STK
Part 2 The A-Train Orbit
Part 3 Swath Size
Part 4 Access to the AFSCN Ground Stations
 STK Software from AGI
AFSCN KMZ File

Each presentation also has a "VDF" file that can be opened wtih STK's Viewer.

The following presentation on the A Train was constructed using multiple presentations that are available on the web. The link to each source document is shown in the table below for each page of the presentation. Both web link and local link URLs are provided because sometimes the original source document may no longer be available. The purpose of the presentation is to provide a general overview of the A Train and the satellites that make up the A Train constellation.
