Hello
I'd like to visualize by myself how is the angle at which we see a
satellite at dawn, seen from different latitudes.
I mean, I need to place an Earth, a satellite, and the Sun, and
visualize the angle they form in 3D space.
Then I'd trace Sun's rays (to check dawn condition) and project the
satellite position on the Earth surface.
That could be use to understand why the ISS can be seen brighter near
the equator.
How can I do it with Satscape?. Or could you add this feature, please?
regards
