Changes for version 0.064_02 - 2012-10-02

  • Make use of the new TLE_LINE0 field in the tle and tle_latest classes to have the version 2 retrieve() method return common names. INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: In JSON output, the object name is now in field OBJECT_NAME. Previously there was no object name in the tle data, and I was hammering it into field SATNAME, since that is where it was in the satcat data. Give spacetrack_query_v2() the ability to add header pragmas if it discovers it was called from outside the Astro::SpaceTrack name space. It adds 'spacetrack-type = modeldef' if the query is 'basicspacedata => "modeldef"', and 'spacetrack-type = orbit' if the query is 'basicspacedata => "query", class => 'tle'" or '... class => "tle_latest"'.

Changes for version 0.064_01 - 2012-09-30

  • Change attribute verify_hostname's default value to true again, since Space Track says they have their act together. Correct documented name of class used to retrieve current TLE data using the Space Track REST interface. It's 'tle_latest', not 'tle_current'.
