+# Issues
+`pyorbital` doesn't support geostationary orbits.
+It gives the error:
+`Deep space calculations not supported`
+
+I thought that was what `pyorbital` was for. It is mentioned in a
+bug report, but not in the docs. Hmm.
+
+See issue:

+* https://github.com/pytroll/pyorbital/issues/71

+I think the Deep space error comes when trying to use TLEs for computing
+geostationary or deep space orbits, with pyorbital doesn't support yet.
