Default Need orbital elements at ET sep

"Ian J. E. Jordan" wrote

I've unsuccessful surfed for a source of historical orbital
elements of STS at MECO/ET sep. Anyone know where i can find this
information? I'm particularly interested in elements for minimum
inclination missions.


That's too early in the flight for NORAD to generate TLEs. Probably
your best bet is to contact NASA and get the state vectors at
MECO and use VEC2TLE to convert them.
