Re: [amsat-bb] when are TLE's too old to use?
???? Clint, I have been working satellites since Oscar 6, when I was in high school. Worked STS-9 (Owen Garriott, Spacehab-1) when I was in graduate college.

If you are working the ISS (fruitless right now), I would update every week, because they re-position themselves a couple times a month. NOTHING drastic, but that is where the slight difference is from week-to-week.
And since you’re updating already, snag ‘em all (grin).
If not working the ISS - every couple weeks or up to a month is fine.

It's not all about you, Greg.
