[amsat-bb] Re: Nova Keps Update > Nova now updated at NLSA website

[Adrian Engele]

All,

I just checked the Nova Satellite page and it appears a new release just came out on 6/23/2011 that fixes the Space-Track.org issue.
I have not tried it yet. I will check when I get home tonight.

Just wanted to pass this along as most of us where busy with Field Day!


73, Adrian AA5UK

I have had lots of questions privately how I got Nova to work again.  So, for all, here is what I did...

I went to Kep. Elements menu and on the Space-Track.org I unchecked all the boxes so that nothing is currently updating from Space-Track (until they fix Nova for SSL).

I then clicked on HTTP and changed the remove URL to www.amsat.org
Then I removed everything in Remote Files and added the following AMSAT path:
amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasa.all

Then I said OK and clicked back on Kep. Elements, Internet Update, Start Download and it grabbed the nasa.all keps from AMSAT and loaded them perfectly.

Hope this helps!
