Limitations on URLLIB Read for TLE

[jordanlui]

Hi there, Noticed that the tlefile.read will only check two NORAD TLE URLs from Celestrak. Was wondering if you could add the other Celestrak URLs, such as https://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/cubesat.txt?

Thanks!

Hi,

Sure, that would be very nice ! I can't really work on this atm, but contributions are welcome :)

Dear all, would it be possible to manually read TLE from a text file? Celestrak URLs are very limiting... I tried to add other URLs in the tlefile.py (l.37) but it does not seem to work. Could you please give a hand or give me some pointers how to add new TLE files?

TLE_URLS = ('http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/weather.txt', 'http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/resource.txt', 'https://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/cubesat.txt', 'http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/stations.txt', 'https://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/sarsat.txt', 'https://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/noaa.txt', 'https://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/amateur.txt')

Thanks!

I use like this:

TLES=/data/pytroll/tle-in/tle_db/tle-latest.txt <pytroll command which need tles>

So TLES is a environmental variable.

Hi! Would it be possible to add 'https://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/engineering.txt' to the list of TLEs?

i.e.:
