Get orbital data from NORAD
Posted: 21.09.2018, 05:31
In the past, I've seen toutatis and gironde create addons for spacecrafts. For simple orbits, they get their data from NORAD. Could someone tell me how to do this?
copy line 1 into a cell of an Excel table
copy line 2 to another cell in the table
After you have to break these two lines to find the information. see https://celestrak.com/NORAD/documentation/tle-fmt.php
you can use the Excel table in the attachment
(be careful: do not destroy formulas and constants)
Added after 4 minutes 20 seconds:
some satellites are not on Norad.
Norad publishes only on satellites orbiting the Earth.
For old satellites where the 2 lines do not appear any more, it can be asked for an email on the archives.
