Do you know if the TLEs are available on celestrak? If so, you can add the URL of the TLE update file to the config.ini file with the others, and then edit the satellites.json file to include them.

Matthew,

Yes they are all available. I don't quite understand the link in the file you refer to in your message. For each spacecraft that you want to track or observe does this mean that you have to add them individually to the satellies.json file. I have already added them to the system file?

Thnaks you for getting abck to me.

Regards,

Len R
