|---|---|
| Vit | 20.85 |
Frink is a calculating tool and programming language designed to help you in the real world. It tracks units of measurement throughout all calculations and ensures that answers are correct. It converts between systems of measurement, and has a huge library of physical data. It is both a simple calculator for quick calculations and a full-fledged programming language for large tasks. It draws high-quality graphics, handles conversions between time zones, currencies, and historical values of the U.S. dollar and the British pound, translates between several languages, does date/time math, and more.

SaVi
| Pop | 291.05 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 84.14 |
SaVi is satellite visualization software that lets you create, run, examine, and modify satellite orbits in two and three dimensions. Simulations of Iridium, Globalstar, Galileo, GPS, and other satellite constellations are included. SaVi requires Tcl and Tk on a system with Unix libraries. SaVi works well with the 3D renderer Geomview. Geomview is optional, though recommended for its 3D rendering capabilities.

Xplanet
| Pop | 178.11 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 10.72 |
Xplanet was inspired by Xearth, which renders an image of the earth into the X root window. All of the major planets and most satellites can be drawn, similar to JPL's Solar System Simulator. A number of different map projections are also supported, including azimuthal, Mercator, Mollweide, orthographic, and rectangular.

Gpredict
| Pop | 163.60 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 13.70 |
Gpredict is a real time satellite tracking and orbit prediction program. Besides the general orbital data for satellites, gpredict can also calculate the footprint, visibility, doppler shift, signal loss, and signal delay for each satellite relative to one or more ground stations. The calculated data can be viewed in tables, on maps, or on polar graphs.

Qastrocam-g2
| Pop | 140.22 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 11.84 |
Qastrocam-g2 is a fork of the Qastrocam project, Webcam capture software for astronomy. This fork adds support for RGB24 (luminance only) and YUYV. It has better generic V4L support (lx mode and resizing). Settings backup has been added. There is better parallel and serial lx mode support. There are a number of other changes and additions.

orekit
| Pop | 138.15 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 20.14 |
OREKIT (ORbits Extrapolation KIT) is a low level space dynamics Java library. It provides basic elements (such as orbits, dates, attitude, and frames) and various algorithms to handle them (such as conversions, analytical and numerical propagation, and pointing).

Cactus
| Pop | 136.95 |
|---|---|
| Vit | 3.53 |
Cactus is a general, modular, parallel environment for solving systems of partial differential equations. The code has been developed over many years by a large international collaboration of numerical relativity and computational science research groups and can be used to provide a portable platform for solving any system of partial differential equations.
