[sci.space.shuttle] orbital prediction programs

A while ago, I saw an inquiry about orbital prediction programs (for 
TS Kelso's element sets).  If you have access to the Internet, you
can grab orbit.tar.Z from the anonymous ftp area on bodega.stanford.edu;
it includes a tool for converting the NASA style element sets into the
AMSAT sets that orbit uses.

If you want a nice graphical program, though, you should look at the stuff
that AMSAT has to offer (for a small fee, and the fee goes to a good cause).
