Pyephem 和 pypredict/gpredict 差异

Question

我正在尝试使用 pyephem 来预测地面站的卫星通行证。但是，我得到的结果与我使用 pypredict 和 gpredict 得到的结果大不相同。这是我写的代码。

import ephem
import predict
import datetime as dt

def passes(station, satellite, start=None, duration=7):
    result = []
    if start is not None:
        station.date = ephem.date(start)
    end = ephem.date(station.date + duration)
    while station.date < end:
        t_aos, azr, t_max, elt, t_los, azs = station.next_pass(satellite)
        result.append({'aos': t_aos.datetime(), 'los': t_los.datetime()})
        station.date = t_los + ephem.second
    return result

tle = """ISS (ZARYA)
1 25544U 98067A   18274.33960752  .00001880  00000-0  36095-4 0  9991

station = ephem.Observer()
station.lat = 20
station.long = 0
station.elev = 0

epoch = dt.datetime.utcnow()

for i in passes(station, ephem.readtle(*tle.split("\n")), epoch, 1):
    print(i['aos'], i['los'])

print("===============")
p = predict.transits(tle, (station.lat, -station.long, station.elev), (epoch - dt.datetime(1970,1,1)).total_seconds())
for i in range(1, 8):
        transit = p.next()
        print(dt.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(transit.start), dt.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(transit.end))

结果

我对 Pyephem 做错了什么？

Answer 1

如果我没记错的话，PyEphem 中一个非常尴尬的界面决定是作为浮点数提供的角度是弧度。（我开始写 Skyfield 的一个原因是有一个没有这个问题的天文学图书馆！）

尝试：

station.lat = '20.0'
