> Yes, 99- 039 B is 1999-039-B. > I'll try to use 4-digits for the years in future. OTOH, this is a reminder to always include USSPACECOM nos. as well. This can be used in most prediction programs and utilities, and is more consistent in format. TLE sources differ on Intl.ID format, and sometimes even between objects or TLEs. NASA OIG has 99039B in elsets, but 1999-039B in Catalog Query (USSPACECOM 25861) Heavens Above displays 1999-039-B, accepts 99039b in "Select a satellite from the database", but will then show all objects from 99039 launch, and it will alternatively accept USSPACECOM no or name on this page. Skymap and Quicksat can not use Intl.IDs for selection, but displays them. DMB/PW/RDE observations use 9903902 format, IOD type is 1999 039 B. -- bjorn.gimle@tietotech.se (office) -- -- b_gimle@algonet.se (home) http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2615 N, 18.6206 E, 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- -- SeeSat-L / Visual Satellite Observer Home Page found at -- -- http://www2.satellite.eu.org/satintro.html -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
