Bug ID: 459471
Summary: Satellites Not Shown
Classification: Applications
Product: kstars
Version: 3.6.0
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: rmiller...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Kstars is not processing satellites. There are a multitude of TLE files in
/home/bob/.local/kstars. These files used to contain the two line element (TLE)
representations of the satellites. Now those files all say something like
<head><title>Document Moved</title></head>
<body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This document may be found <a
HREF="http://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/geodetic.txt";>here</a></body>
and that's it. No data.
If one goes to http://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/geodetic.txt you will find
all the geodetic satellite TLEs. However, updating the satellite data via
Kstars loads the same empty files.
A workaround is to go to the NORAD site and download the data into the
appropriate .tle file. Kstars will read that data, plot the satellites, find a
satellite in the Pointing menu, etc. However, after downloading and saving a
.tle file, make sure to change the r/w permissions to read only; otherwise the
next satellite update will overwrite with an essentially blank file.
