Default ESA Mars Express

says...

I'm searching about the TLE of the Mars Express launched by ESA. I
know that it's not a satellite that orbits arround the Earth, but
perhaps I can adapt it to StarryNight.


It may be that if you go to the NASA Horizons Ephemeris Generator:

http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eph

and contact the folks there, maybe they will provide orbital elements
or a state vector. It will generate an ephemeris for you, but I don't
think it will give you enough to use with your software. The telnet
access has more stuff than the WWW version.

Another possibility might be to try to contact the people at the
ESA. Here's a page about Mars Express:
