The routine ingest a TLE file and extracts informations from a selceted satellite. Calls orbit propagator SGP4 from http://www.centerforspace.com/downloads/files/sgp4/AIAA-2006-6753Code.zip.
It then converts orbit in the ECI reference into Earth Centered Earth Fixed and also into Lat Long Heigth. The subroutine includes an example of ENVISAT satellite where the accuracy of the propagated orbit is checked with respect over a high precision reference.

the ECEF doesn't match the STK output.... You would have to use TOD vector for the ECI data to be correct... use with caution....
