Hello, For satellite orbital elements, look at http://www.qsl.net/w2vtm/sat_track.html Alain BURGEON Carnieres, BELGIUM [EMAIL PROTECTED] "D. Anton Reynecke" a écrit :  Greetings! I am searching for satellite orbital elements. (Particularly the geocentric PAS7 and PAS4 communication satellites for Southern Africa). I am using a program called "HOME PLANET" and it requires the current orbital elements in "NORAD two-line orbital element format", in order to accurately track satellites. (Apparently NASA also uses this format) According to the help file, data sets (updated daily) can be obtained by anonymous FTP from archive.afit.af.mil (129.92.1.66) in the directory pub/space, as well as on newsgroups, but I dont have access to USENET. So far I have been unable to access the mentioned site, it keeps returning error msgs. I would appreciate help, as I don't know where else to start looking. RegardsAnton.
