Space Track TLE Retriever 2 Error Message
Just tried to download new Keplerian elements with Space Track TLE Retriever 2 provided by CelesTrack and got an error message saying I should check credentials. Anyone else getting this message? Don't know if they are down or if I have a problem. I have been getting the latest Keps from them for at least 15 years.

Rick, You need to download Space Track TLE Retriever 3 because the new API used by Space-Track site need it. I don't remember, but I think in these days Space-Track is changing site after a transition period since February 2013. During this period was possible to use version 2 or 3 of TLE Retriever.

They sent the following message out a week or so ago:
Dear Space-Track User,
FINAL NOTICE: Next Tuesday, 16 July 2013, at 1100 PDT (1800 UTC), the space-track.org http://space-track.org team will shut off all access to the legacy website (https://www.space-track.org/perl/***). If you have not already done so, please transition all scripts that screen-scrape or download text/zip files from the legacy website to the upgraded/new website (https://www.Space-Track.org/#/recent).
If you do not transition your scripts to use the new Application Programming Interface (API) on the upgraded site, they will not perform correctly after we shut down the legacy website. Please visit https://www.space-track.org/documentation for specific API information and https://www.space-track.org/documentation/#/howto for assistance in transitioning your scripts. We also provide several sample queries (https://www.space-track.org/documentation/api#sampleQueries) and a Query Builder (https://www.space-track.org/#queryBuilder) to help build your new scripts.
Thank you, The Space-Track Team
