Did I read somewhere that a particular set of commonly used Keplerian data sets did NOT include AO-85 - due to the fact that that mission's primary payload was "military" in nature?
If so - which set does NOT include AO-85?

Hi Clint,
I think that the only set that INCLUDES AO85 is the one produced by AMSAT.
ftp://www.amsat.org/amsat/keps/current/nasabare.txt
I have not found AO85 yet in any of the Celestrak or Spacetrack lists that I used previously.
I am happy to be proven wrong of course!

Graham,
You are correct. Only the AMSAT keps and those sourced from AMSAT will include the keps.

On a related note...
Those of you who use heavens above app on android should know that although AO-85 is listed the keps are out of date. The satellite appears many minutes later than heavens above shows.
