Combines Celestrak.org with a reverse-gecoder

# Orbital Combines Celestrak.org with an efficient reverse-gecoder

To use make sure that the folder orbiting is in the same directory as your code

For example:

Users/user/Project/orbiting Users/user/Project/ActualCode

# Imports

from orbiting import Satellite, Coordinate

# Initializing

iss = Satellite(25544) // We do this as it is the Celestrak.org catalog number. coord = Coordinates(1.1234, 2.1234) // Latitude goes before longtitude when initializing it. It is the same as writing the pair down.

# Get the current lat/long of the satellite

iss.lat iss.long

# Get the proper name of the satellite

iss.name

# Get the elsat classificiation of the satellite

iss.elast_classification

# Get the year the satellite launched

iss.launch_year

# Get the current TLE for the satellite

iss.tle

# Get the current elevation of the satellite

iss.elevation

# True if the satellite is currently in the earth’s shadow

iss.is_eclipsed

# To get the closest city

iss.closest_city(accuracy) // Accuracy by default is set to 10. This could take at most 3 seconds depending on the satellites location. Put in a lower accuracy to reduce time. Accuracy can either be a float or int.

# To get the closest city of any pair of latitude and longtitude

coord.closest_city(accuracy) // Accuracy by default is set to 10. This could take at most 3 seconds depending on the satellites location. Put in a lower accuracy to reduce time. Accuracy can either be a float or int.

# Get the difference in km between two latitudes, longtitudes

coord.distance_between_two_coordinates(lat2, long2) // The lat2 is the latitude of the second pair of coordinates and long2 is the longtitude of the second pair of coordinates.

iss.distance_between_two_coordinates(lat2, long2) // The lat2 is the latitude of the second pair of coordinates and long2 is the longtitude of the second pair of coordinates.
