8.5.79 SatDbTLEData

The SatDbTLEData data record contains the TLE ephemeris data for one satellite. The fields in the SatDbTLEData data record are 1:1 replicas of the SQL database record from the norad_tle table. Please refer to the database model description at section Satellite Database how relations between tables are maintained using IDs.

Data Model

Key Type Value
noradNumber Number the norad number of the satellite this SatDbTLEData record refers to. As the norad number is unique, this field is used as the primary key in the database table.
tleName String the name of the satellite as stated in the original TLE parameter set.
tleLine1 String the first line of TLE data
tleLine2 String the second line of TLE data
modified String timestamp, generated by database at creation / modification time

Remark: The TLE (aka Nasa Two Line Elements) format identifies single parameters by their exact position in the lines 1/2. This requires that the tleLine1 and tleLine2 fields are processed exactly as they are, there must no whitespace be added or removed from the start or end of the value, multiple blanc characters must not be compressed to one. This is essential to keep the values readable.
