[net.space] WANTED: Orbital Equations

>>>

	I would like to ask a (hopefully) simple request of those following
this group. Could anybody mail (or post) the equations for orbital mechanics
that are parameterized based on time or position? I would like to test some
theories of space debris at various orbits.

	Also are there any references to the current listing of ALL tracked
obects by NORAD in orbit?  This would come in quite handy to see what a
"thought experiment" of blasting a sattelite in any given orbit at any given
time whose debris would wipe out.

	Thanx in advance. If I come up with anything interesting, I'll post
the sources used and the results found.
