To retrieve 5 most recent TLEs for a single object it is usually convenient to sort by epoch+descending (and include the name line 0). The API query saves changing four radio buttons in the web form (and they are also reset on each query). And the decay data display contains a lot of historic information. An API query for recent near-future predictions, sorted on RCS is more readable. After login, API examples are : (all preceded by https://www.space-track.org/basicspacedata/query/class) /tle_latest/ORDINAL/1--5/orderby/epoch desc/format/3le/NORAD_CAT_ID/38968 /decay/MSG_EPOCH/>now-15/DECAY_EPOCH/<now+22/metadata/false/format/html/orderby/rcs desc Save them as favourites (modify the single-TLE query when used). -- ---------------------------------------- Björn Gimle, COSPAR 5919 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m Phone: +46 (0)8 571 43 312 Mobile: +46 (0) 704 385 486 _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
