Hello, I hope the below is of use to you others. It works for me. It is in Microsoft Window 11. I also hope it makes sense - I'm not a Technical Author. I have created a windows batch file (Text below) that goes to Celestrack and gets my TLE updates automatically. The process reads Celestrack NORAD Elements and then outputs a combined set of TLEs for the satellites that I am interested in. I call the batch file curle_tle.bat. I have also created a event timed to run the batch file every 6 hours (If you do it too often they will probably block you. REM = REMARK or Comment and those lines are not executed. They are there really as reminders for me. Simple example: To add the NOAA 19 satellite to your TLE Folder location REM NOAA 19 (33591) curl -o "C:\Users<Your User Name>\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32\Kepler\noaa19.txt" " https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?CATNR=33591&FORMAT=TLE " That creates a file noaa19.txt in your Keplar folder and gets and populates the file with the data for satellite whose reference is 33591. At tthe end of the batch file: REM Combine TLEs REM cd /d C:\Users<Your User Name>\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32\Kepler\ copy /b ISS.txt + noaa19.txt + PISAT.txt + SO50.txt + Ao73.txt + Mesat1MO122.txt merged.txt echo Files merged successfully into merged.txt This takes the single satellite TLE Files that you have created and combine them into a single MERGED.txt file and that is the one you choose in SatPC32 Change the pause to REM pause at the bottom of the file once you are happy everything is as you want it. Cut and paste the following into a text - batch (bat) file Amend all the data below to suite your needs. >>>>> ....................... -------------------------- .................................... REM Batch file curle_tle.bat echo "Update cURLs" echo 'echo off' @echo off REM -------------------------------------- NOTES 1 REM While you can still download curated data sets (GROUPs) using the new queries, REM you also have more flexibility to get what you need. And you can do that with a REM simple cURL command (which should be part of Windows 11) to download the data REM and put it exactly where you want it: REM curl -o “localPath” URL REM CREDITS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> REM where localPath is wherever your SATPC32 data goes and URL is the URL of the REM CelesTrak query. REM It would be a lot easier for you to create a batch REM (Powershell) file with a few cURL commands, that you can tailor exactly for REM your needs, than for me to continue to update a Windows-only application to REM handle things like changing formats and the like. REM I hope that makes sense. Please LMK if you have further questions. - TS REM Dr. T.S.
