TLE processing library, anyone?

SiberianTiger · Nov 25, 2009

Do you know a satellite tracking program that has open source? I would like to study a valid TLE processing code.

There is also open source Satellites plugin for Stellarium that can process TLE data.

You can browse/view sources here:

There is more...

An SGP C library that has implementations of SGP, SGP4, SDP4, SGP8 and SDP8.

This page also has a download for SGP4 code which is apprently more up to date than the link above, but it does not include the other models.

SPICE library can work with two-line element set too.
getelm_c() - to parse, ev2lin_()- to propagate the state.
