Adding Satellite Elements from a Local File

This may be a way to share Satellite Elements among various
 users on various systems without less use of the sometimes
 scarce bandwidth of Elements servers, or of supplying
 elements not available from some servers.

Format your file in TLE format, similar to

    http://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/visual.txt

(A detailed description is in:
