Availability of NASA Elements tle data for sat plugin

Asked by Hoss

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is, or will be in the future a NASA/NSSDCA source for gathering TLE data in Stellarium for their space objects, such as the X-37B, for the satellite plugin? Is there a site you know of to manually add to the sources?

Thanks,
Hoss

That is a classified satellite. NASA does not provide elements for any classified satellite. Since elements are not available, I do not include those objects in VISUAL, available on Celestrak.
