The Revolution number starts again after 100.000 has been reached.
100.000 = 0
See the older sats in the catalogue; they have rev numbers started again
already several times.
It is just like the old km/mile counters in cars.

We've already overflowed the Revolution Number for some objects -- 15 
revs/day only allows about 18 years of counting to reach 99,999.  I did a 
short search to see if I could find any discussion of how to change the TLE 
format to cope with such overflows, but came up empty .. has such 
conversation started?
