Well, this is cool, made up a psuedo-TLE for #EQUULEUS and the equivalent circular orbit for my short arc observations places the spacecraft at perigee with Earth right about now according to the plot released for the first Earth orbit. 🧵

Assuming I can get a longer arc of radio observations I should be able to fit a better and better orbit. I'll likely to need to switch to Find_Orb to carry this on.

Basically the fit orbit now only accurately describes what has been observed.

Kept playing with the TLE and added some more data and rough guesses at period and eccentricity. Now it's starting to look like the plot from the #EQUULEUS folks.
