    Dear all,
    
    As you may have already noticed, over the last few months, the site for 
    satellite tracking 
    has been moved on a new domain (satflare.com) and, since then, it has 
    considerably grown, 
    serving also a large number of users who used the service to follow the Phobos-
    Grunt events 
    and final reenter:
    
    Selecting a satellite through its NORAD number, users can track in real-time 
    the satellite position 
    on a 2D map and on a rotatable 3D globe. Setting the observer’s location, the 
    site can show in 
    real-time the satellite trajectory in the sky, predict passes, flares and 
    transits (both solar and lunar). 
    The site is interactive so it is possible to easily zoom into the maps, 
    request the satellite position 
    at different times and take advantages of other minor functions. (New 
    functions are being also
    developed for providing communication between observes who are interested in 
    the same satellite)
    
    Trying to further improve the service, when a satellite is displayed, a page 
    containing 
    information and news about that specific satellite can now be attached under 
    and above the maps. 
    However, since I can not manage alone the creation of such pages for all the 
    main satellites, I decided 
    to ask the help of observers who may want to “take care” of their favorite 
    satellites or group 
    of satellites, and may be willing to write their specific pages. Currently, 
    with exclusion of the 
    Phobos-Grunt and of the ISS, all the satellites are available!
    
    The page content is quite free, it may span from generic data to suggestions 
    for visual observations, 
    to news covering special events such as launch, failures, decay and so on…
    
    If someone of you is interested, please get in touch! I can provide 
    instructions and a template 
    for getting started with the page. 
    
    As an example, see the Phobos-Grunt and the ISS at the following links:

    Best regards,
    Simone
