[amsat-bb] PANSAT Rev 27 Orbital Data

["Kenneth J. Ernandes" <n2wwd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Below is the current State Vector and Keplerian Elements for 
PANSAT.  The vector data comes from NASA; the Keplerian Elements 
were computed from the vector.  

This file may be read by VEC2TLE version 9648 to update your 
Keplerian Elements text file.
