Mars Exploration Rover (MER-A) orbit elements (TLE)?
I've been looking for the TLE of the first Mars Exploration Rover (MER-A,
also know as 'Spirit') currently underway from Earth to Mars, but could not find any. Can someone give me a hint where I can find these? Thanks! Francis |

I don't think you will find TLE in the usual form, because Spirit is in an orbit like a comet, with a perihelion and an eccentricity, so that's the sort of elements you need. Can I add a request for the elements for Mars Express and Nozomi, though? |

I don't know where to find the numbers, but the nasa website has graphics showing where the three spacecraft are - http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/mer/mission...trightnow.html |
