Tle2Orbit

This program computes the outputfileOrbit from two-line elements (TLE/3LE) as can be found at e.g. http://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/. The first satellite in the input file that matches the wildcard of satelliteName is used.

The program uses the Simplified General Perturbation (SGP) model. More information can be found in the Revisiting Spacetrack Report 3 by Vallado et al. 2006.
