libgs_ops.propagator.SpaceTrackAPI

class libgs_ops.propagator.SpaceTrackAPI(uname, pwd)

Class to interface with space-track.org.

This class connects to the space-track.org public API, and therefore requires a username and password. To obtain such credentials you can register for free on the space-track website.

This class allows the execution of arbitrary API queries, but provides a simplified method to download TLEs in the format used by Propagator.

Parameters:

• uname – space-track.org user name
• pwd – space-track.org password

Methods

get_tle_sets(name)	A shortcut to some predefined sets of satellites.
get_tles(nids)	Query space-track for a series of norad IDs, and return the NIDs and TLEs in a dict.
query_raw(uri)	Perform a raw query to spacetrack API.
query_tle(params)	Perform a (fairly) raw query to the spacetrack API for the most recent three-line-elements.
