This page contains the archive of CloudSat two-line elements that can be used to determine the
satellite's orbit. For automation purposes, the most recent file can always be obtained from
http://www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/data_dist/TLEs/CloudSat_Current_TLE.txt or via ftp from
ftp://ftp.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/TLE/CloudSat_Current_TLE.txt.
The first digit in the filenames below indicates the year, the next three indicate the Julian day number. Satellite tracking software that uses the TLEs
can be found by doing an internet search. The CloudSat DPC does not endorse any particular display program. However, we do use "WxTrack" to display the CloudSat
orbit in the data processing center and have found it to be extremely useful.
Note: TLE's are updated at approximately 16:00 UTC daily. TLE accurracy may be compromised when the spacecraft performs orbit-adjustment burns.
