    Hi Grady,
    
    I assume you mean like those in Russell Eberst's and my mails etc.
    
    They are positions of satellites, along with times for those positions and the 
    satellite ID's of course. These data are used to calculate orbits for them.
    
    An overview and explanation of the various formats can be read here:
