Hi Mal.

As it comes Orbitron or any other piece of software will have some TLEs loaded but these will be quite old.
To update you need a list of current space 'objects' and a set of TLEs that have been produced in the last week or 2.

You can either set the program to look at a particular place to load them automatically, or you can copy and paste into notepad etc

The current set of TLEs for amateur radio satellites can be found here:  https://www.amsat.org/tle/current/nasa.all

Regards

David

Tnx David for the reply. Orbitron TLE download does not include AO95 and more recent satellites.
Was wondering whether the download does not include latest launches or the Orbitron prog was not accepting the info
Will have to investigate further

Orbitron is still available.
However my favourite is Nova for Windows. www.nlsa.com. It's a bit old now but it has a nice map display and is free.

Hi Mal !

ORBITRON (rev 3.71) is still working well, you can still download TLEs
and integrate new satellites, and I have no problems under Win7/64. Have
been using it from the start up to now.

Via the integrated DDE-software-interface I could let ORBITRON steer my
homebrew Sat-equipment (by use of homebrew software), while other
programs just integrated a few rotors and tranceivers. ORBITRON is still
free(Cardware).

> is there a better choice Maybe, depends on what you look for and what you are willing to pay for.
