Download SaVi 1.6.0 (April 2023)

The SaVi satellite constellation visualization package can be installed and run on many different platforms where unix functionality is already present, or where unix functionality can be added. If an installation package is not available, you can always download SaVi and compile it yourself.

SaVi is most useful with Geomview, which adds 3D rendering capabilities. The satellite plot scripts may also be useful.
