Requests for additions to the list are entertained if the object fits the above criteria. This is done primarily to keep the size of the packet bulletins down and reduce bandwidth on the various networks. 4) Also, there exists several good landline BBSs to obtain all available elements sets, which are updated more often, if the user has special requirements. The primary source is Goddard SFC Orbital Information Group. You can subscribe to this free on-line service by writing to: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Project Operations Branch/513 Attn: Orbital Information Group Greenbelt, Maryland 20771 USA Other landline sources which update from the OIG are: Dallas Remote Imaging Group (DRIG), which is also the AMSAT BBS, allows access to AMSAT information free of charge: 214-394-7438. Celestial BBS: 513-427-0674, also free for keplerian bulletins. Kevin, thanks for your interest. Any questions from anyone about keps, please ask. +-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | 73 de Dick N3FKV | | n3fkv@tomcat.gsfc.nasa.gov | | AMSAT Asst.
