I want to plot the satellite tracking on a map. So I use SGP4 1.4 with python .Input the TLE data, but the outdata is not what I want. So I want to convert the output data to the ECEF data and get the longitude and latitude.
I know the skyfied can convert TEME to ECEF but Idon't know how to use it.
https://github.com/skyfielders/python-skyfield/blob/master/skyfield/sgp4lib.py
and I use the skyfield met the error:
from skyfield.api import load
ts=load.timescale()
error is:
File "D:\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\skyfield\iokit.py", line 213, in timescale
data = self('deltat.data')
File "D:\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\skyfield\iokit.py", line 166, in __call__
download(url, path, self.verbose)
File "D:\Anaconda2\lib\site-packages\skyfield\iokit.py", line 329, in download
raise IOError('cannot get {0} because {1}'.format(url, e))
IOError: cannot get http://maia.usno.navy.mil/ser7/deltat.data because <urlopen error [Errno 10060] >
I have solved it by add some code. In the iokit.py 'function download() 335 line
try:
print (url) #original
try:
connection = urlopen(url)
except:
import urllib2
user_agent ='"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.122 Safari/537.36"' #cxh
headers = { 'User-Agent' : user_agent }
proxy = urllib2.ProxyHandler({})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy)
urllib2.install_opener(opener)
req ,= urllib2.Request(url, headers = headers)
response = urllib2.urlopen(url)
connection= response
print ('get data successfully')
except Exception as e:
raise IOError('cannot get {0} because {1}'.format(url, e))
