Hmm. Not sure where to point you on that.

I use NASA's J-track 3d. Not sure that is what you are looking for either though, Xabba.

The site to go to on FTA stuff is http://www.satelliteguys.us/ the forums are full of tutorials on how to set up your FTA system and point it.

The company that owns the satellite you're looking for might have pointing table. I know INMARSAT has them - I have copies, but I doubt that's what you're looking for :-D

They're essentially tables you enter with your geographical coordinate, and exit with azimuth and elevation. They exist in chart form as well, I think.

As for a satellite program, it would be extremely easy to do (Most comm satellites are geo-stationnary, after all) but I've never heard of one.
