Given multiple NORAD Two-Line-Element (TLE) files, this matlab code plots the orbits of the satellites around Earth. This is meant to be a simple orbit plotting / visulization tool. This was developed for orbit visualization during my PhD thesis undertaken in the GPS Research Lab in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University:

'MAIN_TLE_READ_Multifile.m' reads in specified TLE files and plots their orbits around Earth. TLE orbit data be downloaded from the Celestrak website: http://www.celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/master.asp
'MAIN_TLE_READ_Multifile_ALL_TLE.m' does the same as 'MAIN_TLE_READ_Multifile.m' only is preset to read the TLE data for all operational orbits and plot them.
