Hello @Eman Adel

The file "eccentricOrbitSatellite.tle" can be found in the folder named "orbitdata" if you have the Example files. TLE stands for Two-Line Element. If you want to test a TLE file, you can simply create it on your own. For example, here is the TLE for the International Space Station (Zarya), which can be obtained from CelesTrak or N2YO:

ISS (ZARYA)

1 25544U 98067A 23299.14014769 .00016046 00000-0 29195-3 0 9993

2 25544 51.6418 39.8968 0000577 78.6429 281.4624 15.49666121422102

Open a Notepad, copy and paste the TLE to a text file. Save and name it as ISS. Then, modify the file extension to .tle format. If you have trouble, I have attached a zipped file that contains the "ISS.tle" file for your reference. Enter these codes, and you will get a list of orbital elements of the ISS.

sc        = satelliteScenario;
tleFile   = "ISS.tle"
ISS       = satellite(sc, tleFile)
elements1 = orbitalElements(ISS)
