% Convert NORAD to Keplerian elements.
s can be a file name or a string input. The string must have the
same format as the file for example:
s = [sprintf('SGPTest \n'),...
sprintf('1 88888U 80275.98708465 .00073094 13844-3 66816-4 0 8\n'),...
sprintf('2 88888 72.8435 115.9689 0086731 52.6988 110.5714 16.05824518 105')];
A file may contain multiple sets of elements.
