Re: [Orekit Developers] TLE.getLine1 problem

Thomas,

Many thanks for that quick identification!

Do you have any plans/possibility to fix it in the 5.0 series as well?

(I will be able to make the modificiation for my local use though,
after realizing how easy it was to build orekit.jar using "mvn
package" :)

Best Regards
/Petrus
