TLE Dataset Editor Page Example:
You may use copy&paste to get the TLE data from the external source into this form field, this is a
convenient way to edit or update single TLE datasets at the ACU. Beside this, the ACU permits to
upload a text file with all 99 datasets with FTP. This way you may update / replace all TLE data at
once. The procedure for this is described below step by step:
Step 1: prepare a text file named TLE.TXT containing all 99 TLE datasets
In this file, each dataset occupies exactly 3 lines of text: one line with the satellite name followed
by two lines of TLE data. The TLE data format is commonly used, a detailled specification of the
format may be found at

The example above shows the the beginning of a TLE.TXT file defining the 'TDRS 3' satellite in
dataset 1, 'SKYNET 4C' in dataset 3, 'TDRS 5' in dataset 4 and so on. Datasets 2, 6 and 7 are
empty in this example, unused datasets have to be expressed as three empty lines. Please note,
that this scheme must be strictly followed as the software interprets the file content based on the
line numbers.
Step 2: upload the TLE.TXT file to the ACU using FTP
You may use the FTP client of your preference for this, simply connect to the ACU's IP address
