TLE orbital element

Post #1by Puduku » 07.07.2002, 23:58

Hi everybody,
Does anyone know how to convert .tle files in order to make new .ssc ?
As I wanted to add a satellite to the earth I tried copying the values of Inclination, Arg of Pericenter etc... directly in my .ssc file but it appears that the orbits weren't matching the one I obtained with Satspy 4.0, a soft used to visualize satellites orbits. I guess I would have to modify the values but as I couldn't find any documentation about it I would really need some help here...
