Connect TLE form to WorldWind globe

[jediLion]

When the user fills out the TLE form, a point should be generated at the Cartesian location which astrodynamics dictates. The first set of coordinates generated (x1, y1, z1) represent the ECI (Earth Centered Inertial) will need to be converted to ECEF (Earth Centered-Earth Fixed) coordinates (x2, y2, z2). Then the ECEF coordinates will need to be again translated into Lat-Long for WorldWind to read-in.

• The point should display as a satellite icon

• The point should appear at the height above earth altitude associated with it's position

• The position does not need to update or "play" automatically

• The position only needs to be general, no need to account for true gravitational model of the Earth (use of the Earth's gravitational constant is sufficient).

Tackling this today!

So I started reviewing my code. I was trying to remember why I set X1 and Y1 the way that I did. I remember now that I had been playing around with plotting the point onto a static 2D circle. so the x2,y2 answer is going to be wrong. I am going to make an edit to see if that corrects for the calculation.

I think that setting the value to zeroes may suffice
