Description	IESS-412 & NORAD ephemeris data can be loaded into the
	INTRAC-305. This data is primarily for Program Track use.
	HOWEVER the INTRAC-305 can use this data to generate an
	ORBIT MODEL for the satellite. The advantage of this is that
	the model is available immediately rather than after the 24hrs
	it would take if the INTRAC had to learn the orbit. The
	INTRAC is then immediately immune to long beacon outage
	or power failures.
	The INTRAC will accept the ephemeris data two days either
	side of the data’s actual validity period.
	The SGP/SDP modelling algorithms for the NORAD data will
	give slightly different pointing results for a given set of data.
	Except that the SGP4/8 algorithms are for Near Earth orbits
	and SDP4/8 are for Deep Space orbits. (Geostationary Orbits
	are SDP). The INTRAC will not allow a model to be made
	using the wrong type of orbit algorithm.
	It is assumed that the user will know which NORAD algorithm
	applies for the data being used.
	Menu Key 6 (Next Field) steps the selecting highlight through
	the seven selections. Once the required selection is
	highlighted pressing ENTER causes the model to be
	generated and the INTRAC to enter Tracking Mode.
Note	For more information on working with IESS-412 & NORAD
	data see page 68.
