[amsat-bb] Re: KYSat-1 Keps

[John Heath]

Hi,

In my experience, pre launch keps don't have a checksum. They just show the key 
numbers that define the orbit.
My tracking software wont load them automatically. If you key them in manually 
it should work fine. You can then run the software and see how the passes will 
look for your QTH.

I did this for KYSat-1 on Instanttrack and it worked fine.

There are plenty of places on the net to find the make up of the NASA 2 line 
element set.

Curious, I just tried both the Cubesat.org and Henk's corrected Keps here on the 
computer at home and neither would work. I did the exact same thing at the 
schools computer earlier today and it worked fine.
