Sun Outage Calculator
A satellite-communications calculator that predicts geostationary sun-outage windows from satellite, frequency band, antenna size, season, and earth-station location.
Field notes
The calculator combines a satellite catalog, RF parameters, and a pinned earth-station position before generating a timetable. Its visible catalog contains 920 satellites, with examples including AMOS-17, NILESAT 201, and EUTELSAT HOTBIRD 13G. Results include UTC start, peak, and end times, outage duration, closest solar separation, and elevation values; the displayed example covers March 9–11, 2026 and can be exported to Excel.
