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.

The spacecraft has been propagated to the next ascending
node, and the orbit number has been adjusted to bring it
into agreement with the NASA numbering convention.
