Air Force approves AMSAT Keplerian element distribution

Keeper of the AMSAT Keps, Ray Hoad, WA5QGD is pleased to announce that AMSAT NA has received approval to continue re-distribution of Keplerian elements from the Air Force Space Command data source (Space Track website) for the period April 1, 2009 to April 1, 2010.

Thanks to the AFSPC team and especially to Mr. Mark Riddle for their help in this process.

Ray said, "This means that the AMSAT Keplerian Elements in verbose format and the 2-line format can be freely distributed by those who recieve them from AMSAT.

"AMSAT's two formats are each considered an AMSAT product and therefore can be freely distributed. AMSAT asks that AMSAT NA be given credit as the source for your redistribution."

Ray, WA5QGD
