ISSOrbit:

Path: SC/Ephem

% Generate Keplerian elements for the ISS
 Generates elements for the International Space Station from a two-element
 set from Celestrak, https://celestrak.com. Type ISSOrbit for a demo with
 a plot of the ISS ground track. If there are no outputs it will plot the
 elements using sgp as a propagator.

 Fixed elements are from 07/16/2020. 'latest' is the default set. These
 are saved in a persistent variable and updated only if more than 2 hours
 has elapsed since the last call, to avoid server errors. Elements are
 only updated on Celetrak once or twice per day.
