    I just noticed that many of the old "OPS" objects have been renamed to DMSPs at OIG.   I wonder if this incicares some kind of policy change.
    
    Examples:
    966-082A    02418 OPS 6026 (DMSP 4A/F1)     US     1966/09/16     /  /  
    1967-010A    02669 OPS 6073 (DMSP 4A F2)     US     1967/02/08     /  /  
    1967-080A    02920 OPS 7202 (DMSP 4A F3)     US     1967/08/23     /  /  
    1967-096A    02980 OPS 1264 (DMSP 4A F4)     US     1967/10/11     /  /  
    1968-042A    03266 OPS 7869 (DMSP 4B F1)     US     1968/05/23     /  /  
    1968-092A    03510 OPS 4078 (DMSP 4B F2)     US     1968/10/23     /  /  
    1969-062A    04047 OPS 1127 (DMSP 4B F3)     US     1969/07/23     /  /
