SPACETRACK(1pm)

NAME
SpaceTrack - Perl application to fetch satellite orbit data.

SYNOPSIS
This application provides a command-line interface to the Astro::SpaceTrack module, based on the Astro::SpaceTrack::shell subroutine.

This gives you interactive access to all Astro::SpaceTrack methods, plus pseudo output redirection (with tilde expansion) if you want your output to go to a file.

Commands can be passed in on the command line. After all command-line commands have been processed, you get an interactive prompt unless one of the command-line commands was 'exit'. Beginning with 0.014, commands can also be piped in, or redirected in from a file.

The one and only option is -filter, which sets the 'filter' attribute of the "Astro::SpaceTrack" object. This prevents informational output (such as the banner and 'OK' messages) to STDOUT. The idea is that with -filter asserted, you can pipe the output to another program, and only have orbital elements written to the pipe.

Please see Astro::SpaceTrack for the details.
