TrackSat!

Project number: 305 (number in database).
Original project name: TrackSat!.
Development type or programming language: Pascal.
Platform designed for/with: Vax.
Year of most recent major modification: 1982.

TrackSat was my final year project for my computer science degree. It was a satellite tracking program which ran on a Vax super-mini computer. Most interaction at the time was done with terminals but this could output to an early graphics terminal, an HP pen plotter, and an early graphics dot-matrix printer. It seems simple enough now but it was all pretty sophisticated for the time!
