Satellite Object Info from script

[gzotti]

Suggestion from SF forum https://sourceforge.net/p/stellarium/discussion/278769/thread/f7afc02d/

.. if I may:
SatData = core.getObjectPosition("ISS (ZARYA)");
SatAlt = SatData["subpoint"];
core.output(SatAlt);

Is there a name for the "subpoint" Key to get that Information?, e.g. to a text file?

--> GZ:

We could add some optional extra fields to StelMainScriptAPI::GetObjectInfo() for additional info even for general/plugin objects. (add virtual getObjectInfoMap() to StelObject, fill in if required, add result to StelMainScriptAPI::GetObjectInfo(). Or even cleaner, most of what is now StelMainScriptAPI::getObjectInfo(obj) should become StelObject::getObjectInfoMap(), and subclasses can add data fields as required/useful.)

r9161 brings a solution to extend scripting capabilities to satellites and other objects.
For your case:

satLat=SatData["subpoint-lat"];
satLong=SatData["subpoint-long"];
