by ok2gz 16 Jan '18

16 Jan '18

I tried to use preliminary data for FOX-1D from https://www.amsat.org/getting-ready-for-fox-1d/ , by N8MH, but my GPredict refused them ( new satellites = 0 ) . So I wrote small program for check and repair of TLE data. Here they are: preFox-1D 1 99934U 1801D 18012.17965046 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 18 2 99934 97.5670 73.8289 0005699 284.7026 298.7182 15.21980622 19 You can try my program at the web address: http://oscar.ok2gz.eu/fox1d.php 73 Jarda ok2gz --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
