Hi,
Since my (somewhat buried) call from my blog post didn't get any responses, I write my problem here, in hope for answers.
In the process of writing AOSP, I decided to implement the initialization of OrbElements (the class that handle the "elements" line of the scenario) using TLE. The thing is, the conversion does not properly convert into Orbiter-readable elements.
Here's an example, using This TLE file:
Try one of these, and you'll see that the resulting is not quite what I expect ...
Can anyone help me on this one?
