Plot graph form satellite position

I am using TLE file of satellite to extract the position and velocity. I want to plot the graph for the same but i am getting error while doing so. Here i am using timetable to plot the graph.

startTime = datetime(2024,3,1,12,38,08);

stopTime = datetime(2024,3,5,15,38,08);

sampleTime = 7200;

sc = satelliteScenario(startTime,stopTime,sampleTime);

tleFile = "o3b.tle" ;

sat1 = satellite(sc,tleFile, ...

"Name","sat1", ...

"OrbitPropagator","sgp4");

elements1 = orbitalElements(sat1);

[position,velocity]= states(sat1);

t=datetime(2024,3,1,12,38,08):datetime(2024,3,5,15,38,08);

TT = array2timetable(position,'RowTimes',t);

plot(TT.t,TT.position);

xlabel("Time")

ylabel("Relative position (km)")

legend("Sat2","Sat3")

Hello,

I understand that you are using MATLAB to work with satellite data, specifically by creating a satellite scenario, loading a satellite from a TLE file, and plotting its position over time.

Since more information about the "o3b.tle" file is not available, I assume the error might have occurred while creating the time vector.

The attempt to create a vector of datetime objects using datetime(2024,3,1,12,38,08):datetime(2024,3,5,15,38,08) might not work as expected because you're trying to create a vector without specifying the step size.

To resolve the issue, you can replace this with the following code:

t = datetime(2024,3,1,12,38,08):seconds(sampleTime):datetime(2024,3,5,15,38,08);

I hope this helps.
