OverPass Predictions

Use the overpass predictor to find out when a satellite is expected to pass over a particular location. Select the sensor and enter the dates to get the satellite viewing range, and satellite and sun azimuth angle, elevation and more!

The information is very useful for satellite validation and calibration using in situ measurements.
