For information. ----- Original Message ----- From: <analyticalgraphics@agi.com> To: <thomsona@flash.net> Sent: Monday, February 21, 2005 5:18 PM Subject: AGI Announcement on TLE Availability > AGI Announcement on TLE Availability > Due to legislation passed by the U.S. Congress, the Air Force Space > Command will no longer distribute space surveillance data via NASA. The > official replacement site is Space Track www.space-track.org, which > introduces new restrictions on data distribution. As such, AGI is no > longer able to provide updates to its satellite database. > For registered users of Space Track, AGI will offer a tool that retrieves > space surveillance data directly from the site and inputs it into STK. In > the meantime, AGI recommends that current TLE users set up an account with > Space Track (www.space-track.org) to download the data and import the > files via STK's menu command ‘Insert/Satellite From TLE File.’ > For users who do not create an account with Space Track, the online update > feature in STK will continue to function, but the data will no longer be > up-to-date. This also holds true when downloading the satellite database > (www.agi.com/satdb) directly from AGI’s Web site. > We appreciate your patience as we work to assure easier access to this > information for our users. If you have any questions about the use of > Space Track data with STK, please contact AGI Product Support at > support@agi.com. > We welcome feedback on your experience with STK and Space Track at > stkfeedback@agi.com. > Sincerely, > Analytical Graphics, Inc. > 220 Valley Creek Blvd. > Exton, PA 19341 > Phone: 1.610.981.8000 > Toll-free: 1.800.220.4785 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
