[amsat-bb] Re: Space Track Beta Web site

[Joseph Armbruster]

The API looks pretty simple from the docs.  I just took a stab at it, using
curl, this is all I had to do to authenticate and issue a query:

Authenticate (comes from their docs):

curl -v -c cookies.txt -b cookies.txt -k
https://beta.space-track.org/ajaxauth/login -d
'identity=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD'

Issue their example ISS Min/Max Historical Apogee Perigee query:

curl -v -b cookies.txt -k
https://beta.space-track.org/basicspacedata/query/class/satcat/CATALOGNUM/25544/format/html/
