Orbital Data Redistribution Update

During the past week the NASA Orbital Information Group (OIG) system from which our KEP data comes, was rebooted and the system became inoperable.

The good news is that as of 16 February they were able to recover some functionality. Daily updates of the KEPs are now possible, which is sufficient for our needs. For the time being we are OK.

In the bigger picture, Air Force Space Command is still in the process and working hard to put their redistribution process in place. Permission to redistribute the data has been formally requested but at this time it is still not known what that process will be.
