It has nothing to do with stereo or non stereo. Usually you leave it to zero. It allows defining sensor geometries with a certain pitch inclination, forward ot backwards.

It is usually applied to SAR sensors, whereby the satellite may have two looking sides right or left. We use the slew qualifier to allow using the same geometry figures for left or right, therefore reducing the risk of configuration errors. For optical satellites you usually consider SLew = Not applicable
Yes, if incidence angle is defined for optical satellites, it will be used. You can define sensor geometries with three alternative methods: look angle, incidence angle, or Stand-Off Stand off is the on-ground distance between subsatellite point and observation point, measured at the equator. You can define the sensor geometry via Stand-off which is equivalent […]
Steerable continuous: Is a sensor which can be freely steerable to any intermediate position. Typically this is applicable to optical sensors mounted on board agile satellites where the full satellite platform is rolled to point to the desired looking angle. Steerable enumerative: Is a sensor which has a limited set of predefined looking positions.Typically this […]
TLEs are normally retrieved from Taitus servers, from addresses like this http://1.software.taitussoftware.com/savoir/commercial/TwoLineElements/OpticalSatellites.tles.txt Make sure your firewall is not blocking server 1.software.taitussoftware.com If TLEs are not updated for too long (> 7 days) , SaVoir will write the satellite name in red. SaVoir will nevertheless continue using the latest available TLEs for the satellite, but you can […]
For the second consecutive year we participate to SSSIF ( Spanish Small Satellite International Forum). The event for small satellites designers, technicians, developers & launchers, took place in Malaga from 25 to 27 of February. We decided to repeat the experience of 2019 because we have seen a lot of interest in our main software SaVoir and […]
This is only a temporary issue caused by changes made by NOAA to the server address. There is a workaround to solve it. In fact, we have created a new TAITUS address which redirects to the NOAA server in case they make new changes. Do as follows: (1) In “Edit / Properties / 3D engine […]
Savoir should have installed the necessary DirectX 9 libraries during the installation. If you get error, perhaps you can uninstall and re-install it from scratch. If the error persists, you can manually install DirectX 9 from the Microsoft site at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
Taitus participate to New Space Economy European Expoforum from 10- to 12th December hosted in Fiera di Ropma: our impressions and considerations.
