STS-57 KEPLERIAN ORBITAL ELEMENTS
SPACELINK NOTE: Spacelink contains an IBM MS-DOS/Windows program (V2L9322.ZIP)
that will convert M-50 state vectors into the 2-line format preferred by many
callers. Enter IBM at the GO TO prompt and check out the section on satellite
tracking programs. This program may prove useful on occasions when the M-50
elements are more current than the 2-line elements.
