NORAD Two-Line Element Set Format
Data for each satellite consists of three lines in the following format:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
1 NNNNNU NNNNNAAA NNNNN.NNNNNNNN +.NNNNNNNN +NNNNN-N +NNNNN-N N NNNNN
2 NNNNN NNN.NNNN NNN.NNNN NNNNNNN NNN.NNNN NNN.NNNN NN.NNNNNNNNNNNNNN
For example:
HUBBLE
1 20580U 90037B 99272.06768183 .00002365 00000-0 23382-3 0 02374
2 20580 028.4670 111.0359 0013971 225.3844 134.5606 14.88312749317309
Line 0 is a twenty-four character name (to be consistent with the name length in the NORAD SATCAT).
Lines 1 and 2 are the standard Two-Line Orbital Element Set Format identical to that used by NORAD and NASA. The format description is as follows:
Line 1:
Column | Description | 说明 |
---|---|---|
01 | Line Number of Element Data | TLE行号 |
03-07 | Satellite Number | 卫星编号 |
08 | Classification (U=Unclassified) | 是否保密 |
10-11 | International Designator (Last two digits of launch year) | 国际编号(年份) |
12-14 | International Designator (Launch number of the year) | 发射次数 |
15-17 | International Designator (Piece of the launch) | 发射物体编号 |
19-20 | Epoch Year (Last two digits of year) | 时间(年份) |
21-32 | Epoch (Day of the year and fractional portion of the day) | 年积日和当天时刻 |
34-43 | First Time Derivative of the Mean Motion | |
45-52 | Second Time Derivative of Mean Motion (decimal point assumed) | |
54-61 | BSTAR drag term (decimal point assumed) | BSTAR 阻力系数 |
63 | Ephemeris type | 轨道模型 |
65-68 | Element number | 目标第几组TLE |
69 | Checksum (modulo 10) | 校验位 |
(Letters, blanks, periods, plus signs=0; minus signs=1) |
Line 2:
Column | Description | 说明 |
---|---|---|
01 | Line Number of Element Data | TLE行号 |

09-16 | Inclination (degrees) | 轨道倾角 |
18-25 | Right Ascension of the Ascending Node (degrees) | 升交点赤经 |
27-33 | Eccentricity (decimal point assumed) | 轨道偏心率 |
35-42 | Argument of Perigee (degrees) | 近地点幅角 |
44-51 | Mean Anomaly (degrees) | 平近点角 |
53-63 | Mean Motion (perigees per day) | 每天环绕地球的圈数 |
64-68 | Revolution number at epoch (revs) | 发射以来飞行的圈数 |
69 | Checksum (modulo 10) | 校验位 |
All other columns are blank or fixed.
