TruSat
Bulk TLE download
It would help observers if they could have access to the TruSat TLEs through a single, static URL. Observers will want to pull the latest TLEs of all objects from several sources (space-track.org, Mike McCants but also TruSat), prior to their observing sessions.
@Kmoneal with the full-stacking of the Front-end and API, this feature request is almost solved:
I believe all that needs to be done it to deliver the following URL requests with a plain/text MIME type
- https://trusat.org/tle/trusat_all.txt
- https://trusat.org/tle/trusat_priorities.txt
Both links now working as expected, see:
- https://trusat.org/tle/trusat_all.txt
- https://trusat.org/tle/trusat_priorities.txt
PR - https://github.com/consensys-space/trusat-backend/pull/101
Cheers to @Kmoneal for quick turnaround.
@mainnebula @mikeville We should figure out where to advertise that these direct URLs are available for scripted-access - in trusat-learn, or on the catalog page view?
@interplanetarychris Did a quick post on discuss after check in with @mainnebula and @mikeville yesterday evening, see here - https://discuss.trusat.org/t/new-trusat-feature-direct-urls-to-download-tles/126
We also felt it would make sense for @Kmoneal to include both links in his README for the backend repo, perhaps tied in with a further documentation of all the endpoints in TruSat.
OK, this helps, but ultimately it seems like it should be directly on the site, and not buried in repos or aging discussion forum posts...
