This project aims to provide libraries in a few languages which allow for NORAD general perturbation element sets to be used in calculating the position and velocity of space objects.

The Python version of Kepcalc is now online running responding to REST queries at my site: http://www.williamslabs.com/sat/ The response format is in xml allowing the data to be integrated into any system capable of parsing xml.
The project is now available in the flavor of c# and a c++ port is in the works. The c++ port SGP0 model is working well as of a few moments ago. More to come on the c++ side of things...
A simple alpha is available for download. A main is included to demonstrate some functionality. From the command line: "java -jar KepCalc-xxx.jar" Additionally, some javadocs are posted here: http://kepcalc.sourceforge.net/
The java package is nearly release worthy. Basically just the packaging itself remains. SGP is complete along with a standard set of translations. An exciting new feature just added is the ability to calculate visual magnitude based on Mike McCants published standard magnitude terms available here: http://www.io.com/~mmccants/tles/mccdesc.html A number of satellite importing techniques are built in including Space-Track, Celestrak, and even amateur classified object listings also published by Mike McCants: http://www.io.com/~mmccants/tles/
