Hello All, RE: Update on monthly changes of OIG/GSFC Satellite Situation Report I decided to make a monthly report of significant changes found in the OIG Satellite Situation Report (SSR) due the number of such items found. OIG's report is based on TLEs received from USSPACECOM. And users without program routines to 'catch' such re-cataloged TLEs or name changes may not be aware of them. HISTORY Nov/Oct v40#11/v40#10 1 re-cataloged 2 variant name changes Oct/Sept v40#10/v40#9 4 re-cataloged 1 significant name change Sept/Aug v40#9/v40#8 5 re-cataloged 3 significant name changes Aug/July v40#8/v40#7 2 re-cataloged O significant name changes July/June v40#7/v40#6 12 re-cataloged 2 significant name changes June/May v40#6/v40#5 O re-cataloged O significant name changes Re-cataloged objects are those which the launch ID number has been assigned to a NORAD number designation _different_ than the original. Significant name changes are defined as those clearly not same object. In other cases, name is similar, but generally more precise in nature. Please make requests for previous reports on this matter directly to my email address shown below. ========================================================================== Per current OIG/GSFC Satellite Situation Report release of Dec 3, 1999 Dec 1999 40/11 & 40/11 1 recatalog / 2 name changes The following listings are of discrepancies and/or corrections found in comparison of the Satellite Situation Reports Nov v40#11 and Oct v40#10 Note: No search made for launch/decay date conflicts.
