Updated flow that solves the timestamp issue, and shows that the prepopulated values from the node config take precedence over any configuration set by the message object. If you check the code, it verifies it doesn't care about `msg.tle1` and `msg.tle2`.

Yes that's my problem.  
Moreover, it sends 4 data to TLE instead of 1.

Arugh, I just realized that I had prefilled in the TLE node and so I was getting false results (arugh).  
However this should be an easy PR to check for the inputs and use them in the node. Let me take a look.

All right I've got a fix for the code. If you want to try it out, go to the  
`.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-satellites`  
folder and edit `satellites.js`  
go to line 76 which is ` var satellites = [];` and add the following

```auto
        // override tle1 if passed suitable value
            if ('satid' in msg) {
                if ( (typeof msg.satid === 'string') && (msg.satid.length < 1024) ) {
                    node.satid = msg.satid
                }
            }
        // override tle1 if passed suitable value
            if ('tle1' in msg) {
                if ( (typeof msg.tle1 === 'string') && (msg.tle1.length < 1024) ) {
                    node.tle1 = msg.tle1
                }
            }
        // override tle1 if passed suitable value
            if ('tle2' in msg) {
                if ( (typeof msg.tle2 === 'string') && (msg.tle2.length < 1024) ) {
                    node.tle2 = msg.tle2
                }
            }

```

Save the file and stop/start NR then try the second flow (using `msg.tle1/2`) that @afelix provided.

Let me know if it works for you.

Rather than use a split etc this may be a case where a simple function node can do it all much more cleanly. (Alongside the fix for the node itself)

I'm sorry but i don't understand what i have to do in my flow.  
I changed the code as you said but i don't know what to change on NR.  
btw yes i used a split instead

PR created for the node and an example also provided.  
@dceejay your right, the function would be simpler, but the split/join should be easier for someone new to understand.

I'll put together a flow with the function also.

And as you can see, i have still a lot of response from TLE (4) one for each msg.

You didn't use the `join` node to join the four mesages together.

Try this simpler flow using a function instead of the split/join (a @dceejay suggestion)

```auto
[{"id":"736f681c.fb3ea8","type":"inject","z":"6eeba0c2.aa0738","name":"","topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"date","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":120,"y":560,"wires":[["70029dca.401c34"]]},{"id":"70029dca.401c34","type":"http request","z":"6eeba0c2.aa0738","name":"","method":"GET","ret":"txt","paytoqs":false,"url":"https://celestrak.com/satcat/tle.php?CATNR=44109","tls":"","persist":false,"proxy":"","authType":"","x":130,"y":620,"wires":[["dcbe4635.b98e6"]]},{"id":"dcbe4635.b98e6","type":"function","z":"6eeba0c2.aa0738","name":"Move the data to the override values","func":"var p = msg.payload.split(\"\\n\");\nmsg.satid = p[0]\nmsg.tle1 = p[1]\nmsg.tle2 = p[2]\nmsg.payload = Date.now()\n\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"x":210,"y":680,"wires":[["4f94285d.8cc2f"]]},{"id":"4f94285d.8cc2f","type":"tle","z":"6eeba0c2.aa0738","satid":"BLUEWALKER 1 ","tle1":"","tle2":"2 44105 97.4795 168.9341 0059630 107.2691 253.5087 15.31277171 57050","coordsys":"latlongdeg","name":"(TLE prefilled with BLUEWALKER 1 data)","x":220,"y":740,"wires":[["f26379b6.1eb2f8"]]},{"id":"f26379b6.1eb2f8","type":"debug","z":"6eeba0c2.aa0738","name":"Message coming out of TLE node","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"true","targetType":"full","x":200,"y":800,"wires":[]}]

@JustSeen just sent me a message (he hit his post limit) that this solved the issue.
