-
- Anyone had a chance to take a look at the cushcraft AOP-2
- oscar array? I have the AOP-1 array but have it down for repairs
- and figured I might as well update. From the ads I have seen it look like
- a couple more elements on 2mters and a much larger antenna on 440.

- Below is the rev 14 Earth-Fixed Greenwich (EFG) State Vector for STS-64.
- This vector comes from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and is provided
- courtesy of the DOD C-Band Radar Network.
-
- The data between the dotted lines may be read directly by VEC2TLE to
- estimate
- the Keplerian Elements for STS-64 in NASA Two-Line (TLE) format. The
- VEC2TLE
- software is available from a variety of sources including AMSAT-NA and the
- NASA Spacelink BBS (205) 895-0028 and may be registered free of charge
- for
- hobby use.

- The drag values are estimated by VEC2TLE using a 1.0 drag multiplier.
-
- To create a file for use by VEC2TLE, simply write the data between the
- dotted lines to a new (text) file. I recommend that the file you save
- the data have a .VIF extension (default for VEC2TLE vector input files).
-
- MSDOS/PC software is available for conversion of
- OSV to 2 Line Keplerian Elements via ftp to:
- oak.oakland.edu:/pub/msdos/hamradio/v2l9331.zip
- and the SIMTEL archives.
