WTD: Orbital analysis with IDL [message #25111]

Hi all,

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have IDL routines for
calculating and plotting satellite orbits from state vector data (i.e.
the space shuttle). I have measurements made on the shuttle which are
accurately time stamped, and I have the orbit parameters below... If no
one has code, can anyone recommend a good book on orbital mechanics?

Cheers,
Randall
