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.
