Hipparcos Satellite?

Is there an add-on for the Hipparcos satellite? Considering that Celestia uses Hipparcos data, it would only be appropriate to include Hipparcos.

Not yet, but i've just sent in a special request form to celestrak.com, for orbital data on it. Hopefully i'll get whatever data back fairly soon... Model will probably come some time in the future too!

03328 was Monday, FYI. That's the most recent TLE NORAD has generated.

Enjoy!

Hey!!!

Where did you get those elements from? I couldn't see it listed anywhere on celestrak...?

I have an OIG account. It's where Celestrak gets their TLEs.

You can get historical tles from 'Jonathon's Space Report' here...
