Hi,

Is ephemeris data of satellites standardized as TLE files or different constellations have different formats?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
As far as I know constellation satellites (such as Starlink) are still included in the usual two-line element set, e.g. https://heavens-above.com/orbit.aspx?satid=62487

By the way, you wrote "ephemeris" but since that is a table of positions over time I assume you mean "elements" as in orbital elements.
 
Follow up:
CelesTrack has a lot of pre-made satellite groups and different formats, with the elements of each group accessible as both TLE and OMM (transferred as XML, JSON or similar).
