SGPPrep
SGPinp = SGPPrep(tle);
Prepares extracted TLE data, such as output by TLEExtract, for use by the NORAD SGP propagators (old FORTRAN convention). It also determines which SGP model to use based on the period. In general SGP requires these units: time in minutes, distance in units of earth radii, angular quantities in radians.
