The API looks pretty simple from the docs. I just took a stab at it, using curl, this is all I had to do to authenticate and issue a query:
Authenticate (comes from their docs):
curl -v -c cookies.txt -b cookies.txt -k https://beta.space-track.org/ajaxauth/login -d 'identity=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD'
Issue their example ISS Min/Max Historical Apogee Perigee query:
curl -v -b cookies.txt -k https://beta.space-track.org/basicspacedata/query/class/satcat/CATALOGNUM/25...

Hi,
They are using RESTful APIs for web services so that should make life a lot easier for those of us writing apps and other services.
