Thanks for all the pre-launch info!
I'm sure it's operator error, but I have not been able to get Orbitron to recognize those preliminary TLE's.
Some of the digit positions (number of digits in certain fields) look different from all the other TLE's that are recognized. Thanks in advance if anyone can let me know how to clean up those pre-launch TLE's to work in Orbitron.
Thanks!
