Details of the mathematics behind these elements may be found in Spacetrack Report No. Weekly updates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. A significant exception is the International Space Station. Because of its low orbit, it experiences significant aerodynamic drag which over a few days introduces noticeable errors, particularly for the MHz HamTV transmissions that require narrow beamwith dish antennas for good reception.
Additionally, its orbit is periodically raised by thrusters. These combined factors require frequent updates to ensure accurate predictions. When a new satellite is launched there is some confusion regarding TLEs. Look to amsat-bb, Twitter and Facebook for the latest information. Bulletin format elements for all satellites of interest to radio amateurs.
All objects on this site will have a classification of 'U' unclassified. A space implies a positive value. The checksum is the sum of all characters in the data line, modulo In this formula, the following non-numeric characters are assigned the indicated values:. Replacing the 1st digit of the 5-digit object number with an alphanumeric character makes it possible to represent , more numbers.
Only capital letters and numbers are used in Alpha The latest SGP4 propagator, Version 8. As more countries, companies, and non-governmental organizations field space capabilities and benefit from the use of space systems, it is in our collective interest to act responsibly and to enhance overall spaceflight safety.
There are three levels of SSA services: basic, emergency, and advanced. Users can build customized API queries to pull specific data from historical records, and automate the retrieval of new data.
Redistribution includes, but is not limited to, the use of Space-Track. On-Orbit Conjunction Assessment CA is the process for determining the point and time of closest approach of two tracked orbiting objects. Results that meet emergency reportable criteria will be provided. Launch Conjunction Assessment CA identifies potential conjunctions that may result in a collision between launching objects and on-orbit objects. Using information provided by the customer prior to launch, via the Form 22 , 18 SPCS screens the launch vehicle against the space catalog and provides conjunction information for each associated launch time.
Screening begins at an altitude of km or greater and continues through the duration of the launch trajectory provided by customer. The Launch CA screening results identify periods during the launch window which may put the rocket and payload at increased risk for collision. Expanded screening volumes and propagation are used to identify possible close approaches. Operators may provide more than one ephemeris file for each maneuver to allow analysis of multiple scenarios.
Deorbit and Reentry Support includes reentry assessment, reentry confirmation, and assistance in deorbit operations. Reentry assessments are predictions of the time and location where an uncontrolled object will reenter the atmosphere not where the object will impact the ground. All customers non-U. In the event of disapproval, the SSA Sharing Team will work with the customer to revise their request for reconsideration.
After approval, the SSA Sharing Team will provide an estimate of when the data will be delivered, or when the ongoing service will be initiated. In some situations this will take more time than others, but the customer will be notified accordingly. ODRs are valid for one year from the date of approval.
Customers may request information not included in standard services, but this will lengthen the review process and the time required to deliver the data or service, if the request is approved. Whether you are putting your first satellite on orbit, or adding to an existing constellation, we encourage you to register your asset with 18 SPCS so that we can plan for optimal tracking and identification, and provide you with conjunction assessment services as soon as possible.
As soon as you register, a member of 18 SPCS will contact you to discuss the details of your mission and coordinate conjunction assessment and other required support. Due to the dynamic nature of space operations, 18 SPCS relies on information from operators, launching agencies, and the overall space community to maintain space situational awareness. Even if you do not require direct support from 18 SPCS, we welcome the following information:.
Maintaining spaceflight safety and space situational awareness is a cooperative activity and responsibility. The information you provide advances these goals and ensures equal access to space for all global users. USG entities and their contractors may be eligible to receive additional data and services not listed above depending on their mission requirements and security clearance.
