Osculating elements
This tab displays the osculating (keplerian) elements of the selected satellite, and also its cartesian position and velocity (in ECI frame as given by the SGP4 model, or in ECEF frame).
Satellite informations
It details components of the TLE and gives informations about the satellite (standard magnitude, dimensions).
Predictions of passes, flares, ISS transits, telescope and antenna tabs
These tabs allow to make the most useful predictions (simple passes, flares or ISS transits). A good choice for parametrization is to keep the default values, as here.
