It will depend on all the applications we receive. We would prefer to share
and have new students each year, but we don't forbid past students to apply.

What we thought was an application that would run on a web server and  
would provide a front page were users could select:

 1) a spacecraft orbit
    (either from a server provided list or by specifying all
     orbital elements by themselves)
 2) some general event types (penumbra entry/exit, full eclipse entry/exit,
    nodes crossing, apsides crossings, solar time ...)
 3) some ground station specific events (start/end visibility for some
    selected ground stations locations)
 4) a time span

Then the user would submit this job to the server and will get back  
generated ephemerides (in inertial or terrestrial frame), ground track  
plot, and the list of events that occurred together with their  
occurrence time. These results should be displayed in a result web  
page and could also be downloaded by the user.

best regards,
Luc
