Blueprint action getelem can be used to parse TLEs into a representation that can be used to compute state.
getelem
Abstract
Parse the “lines” of a two-line element set, returning the elements in units suitable for use in SPICE software.
getelem blueprint action
getelem returns a STwoLineElements value, as Elems.
ev2lin
Accepts a STwoLineElements value as input. This is the return value of getelem. The ev2lin action computes a state variable and returns it as a SStateVector value, State.
Note that ev2lin is deprecated, the new method is evsgp4.
getgeophs
This action returns a STLEGeophysicalConstants value. ev2lin requires this value, which is obtained by getgeophs from kernel pool variables, as input. Earth’s geophysical constants are located in Kernel data file geophysical.ker located here.
