Description

The SetState TLE command sets the orbit state of the specified satellite, using the input two-line element set, and propagates the orbit. When specifying the TLE Cards, use the entire card, including spaces, and enclose each card in double quotes.

Each TLE Card must be 69 characters long. Do not leave out any spaces.

The following {Options} can be included on the command line:

{Options}	Description
TimePeriod {TimeInterval}	The span of the ephemeris. If not entered, then the time period is obtained from the TLE card. For valid {TimeInterval} values see Time Options.
TimeStep <StepSize>	The interval between calculated ephemeris output points. Entered in seconds
Routine <PropName>	This option allows for the selection of a different implementation of the SGP4 routine for propagating ephemeris for this satellite. For more information on changing SGP4 routines see the SetSGP4Prop command.
NoProp	If included on the command line the satellite's state will be set but it will not be propagated.

Example

Set Satellite1 to use the specified two-line element set:

SetState */Satellite/Satellite1 TLE "1 10637U 78012A 04113.40484266 .00000000 00000-0 10000-3 0 9453" "2 10637 040.1939 040.6913 1575431 119.1582 257.4005 01.000538770048625"

Set Satellite2 to use the specified two-line element set, and propagate over the input time period:

SetState */Satellite/Satellite2 TLE "1 10637U 78012A 04113.40484266 .00000000 00000-0 10000-3 0 9453" "2 10637 040.1939 040.6913 1575431 119.1582 257.4005 01.000538770048625" TimePeriod "1 Jun 2004 12:00:00.00" "1 Jun 2004 18:00:00.00"
