tleread() loading incorrect data

Hello,
I'm trying to load TLE data to MATLAB using tleread function. Examining the MeanMotion values, they seem to either be loaded incorrectly or some conversion is going on. I tried to look in the help files for the tleread but couldn't find any details.
For instance, this is the tle data for the Iridium constellation: https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=iridium&FORMAT=tle
When saved as a .tle file and loaded to MATLAB, the MeanMotion values are incorrect.
I'm using MATLAB online, so version R2024a. I also tried it on a locally installed MATLAB (2024a), and getting the same results.
Am I missing something?

which -all tleread
Unfortunately, it's published as a p instead of as an m file, so can't see what it may be doing, but agreed; that doesn't seem to match anything in the records.
Only MATHWORKS can answer this since it is p-code; submit an official bug report.
There is an <FEX submission> that reads the tle file that you might use as a workaround in the meantime, or it doesn't appear to be too difficult to roll your own although it is somewhat tedious to parse fixed width files with MATLAB's toolset...

The TLE data contains “mean motion” in revolutions/day unit. The “tleread” function in MATLAB reads the “mean motion” in degree/second unit. Hence the change in values is observed.
1 revolution/day = (360/(24*60*60)) degree/second
Hence, all the mean motion values in original TLE data are divided by 240 and this is the value seen in the data read by “tleread” function.
E.g. The first “mean motion” value 14.35329424426931 rev/day is converted to (14.35329424426931/240) degree/second = 0.0598 degree/second.
Hope you find this information helpful.
