Hi Mike,
As others have noted, AO-85's keps aren't in the default locations GPredict gets its information from. I have the Linux version, but I expect it's similar under Windows, if that's what you're using.
Go to Edit -> Preferences, and select the TLE Update tab. Under the Update from the Internet section there's a list of websites, all from celestrak. Click on Add TLE source, and edit the highlighted section with:
https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt
Be sure the box "add new satellites to local database" is checked, and hit OK.
Then update the update the database with Edit -> Update TLE data -> from Network. You should then be able to find AO-85 in the search list under Configure (cleverly hidden under the little triangle in the upper right corner).
GPredict is my primary satellite prediction and tracking app. Enjoy!

Hello, Seeing the posts I downloaded Gpredict to give it a try. I could not find AO-85 (FOX-1A) in satellites listed. Even AO-91 is in the current list. Can it be under some other name? I found a way to add a bird but looks like a pain to update. Easy way? And if AO-91 is in the list why was AO-85 left out?TNX 73 Mike K4MIA _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
