Automatically download TLE

[AlfredXiaSF]

I know there is a TLE reader. But it need user to provide TLE files or strings.
Can we automatically download TLE via NORID IDs and time range?

Hi @AlfredXiaSF !

This is a very nice feature that is not implemented in SatelliteToolbox.jl. This will require access to a free online service that has those historical TLEs. Do you know if such a service is available?

Hi @ronisbr !

Yes! There are several websites that can get TLEs, such as Space-Track, celestrak. Space-Track is the largest and most comprehensive, but you must register an account to access the TLEs from this website.
There are several python packages that have implemented this feature, such as satellitetle , tle-download, spacetrack

This can be closed!

The next version of SatelliteToolbox will use https://github.com/JuliaSpace/SatelliteToolboxTle.jl

This package will replace TLE support here and have the capability to fetch TLEs from CelesTrak.
