spacetracktool 0.1.0b5

A Python API for querying space-track.org

Master branch

Development branch

A Python API for making queries to space-track.org. To install:

pip install spacetracktool

To use, first get a username and password for space-track.org, then create a query of the desired class. For example, to create a TLE query:

.. code-block:: python

import spacetracktool as st query = st.SpaceTrackClient(‘username’, ‘password’) result = query.tle_query(norad_cat_id=12345) # look for a specific satellite ID

To create a slightly more complicated query, using ranges for some arguments:

.. code-block:: python

import spacetracktool as st from spacetracktool import operations as ops query = st.SpaceTrackClient(‘username’, ‘password’) date_range = ops.make_range_string(‘2018-01-01’, ‘2018-01-31’) result = query.tle_query(epoch=date_range) # generates and submits query
