It's been a while since I had tried this port, and after obtaining TLE for Shinzhou-5 yesterday, I decided to give it a try. I was getting checksum errors on all TLE [www.celestrack.com], as well as the one of interest. After disabling the checksum code, I was getting altitude info of like 8500+ kM for SZ-5, and all sorts of other funky crud for others. I don't have the time to do much with this, but if I find some time, I'll help. The maintainer needs to take a look at the port tho. sattrack is a good package, and should stay in the tree, but there are issues right now... jim -- "Religious fundamentalism is the biggest threat to international security that exists today."
