LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING

The intended purpose of the SGP4 propagator is to properly propagate an
object's Two Line Element Set (TLE) supplied by the USSTRATCOM'S Joint
Functional Component Command for SPACE Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC)
such that the positions calculated for that object agree with those
calculated by the JSpOC. SGP4 propagator is to be used solely for the
purpose of propagating JSpOC created TLEs. TLEs created and supplied by the
JSpOC are created in such a way as to be compatible with the SGP4
propagator. In this way, compatibility/interoperability issues between the
JSpOC and the user of JSpOC SGP4 TLEs are addressed. Examples of what SGP4
should not be used for, included but are not limited to, propagating JSpOC
created state vectors which come from any of the various other messages the
JSpOC creates, such as Vector Covariance Messages, Orbital Conjunction
Messages, Conjunction Data Messages, etc.
