     (description
      "Gpredict is a real-time satellite tracking and orbit prediction
 application.  It can track a large number of satellites and display their
 position and other data in lists, tables, maps, and polar plots (radar view).
 Gpredict can also predict the time of future passes for a satellite, and
-provide you with detailed information about each pass.")
+provide you with detailed information about each pass.
+
+Some core features of Gpredict include:
+
+@itemize
+@item Tracking of a large number of satellites only limited by the physical
+memory and processing power of the computer
+@item Display the tracking data in lists, maps, polar plots and any
+combination of these
+@item Have many modules open at the same either in a notebook or in their own
+windows.  The modules can also run in full-screen mode
+@item You can use many ground stations
+@item Predict upcoming passes
+@item Gpredict can run in real-time, simulated real-time (fast forward and
+backward), and manual time control
+@item Detailed information both the real time and non-real time modes
+@item Doppler tuning of radios via Hamlib rigctld
+@item Antenna rotator control via Hamlib rotctld
