Hello,
I’m trying to load TLE data to MATLAB using tleread function. Examining the MeanMotion values, they seem to either be loaded incorrectly or some conversion is going on. I tried to look in the help files for the tleread but couldn’t find any details.
For instance, this is the tle data for the Iridium constellation: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=iridium&FORMAT=tle
When saved as a .tle file and loaded to MATLAB, the MeanMotion values are incorrect.
I’m using MATLAB online, so version R2024a. I also tried it on a locally installed MATLAB (2024a), and getting the same results.
