They are also in my dklist.tle and satbase.zip files. The latest I have is Mars Odsy Dl r 7.0 2.0 0.0 5.5 d 10 1616 x 173 km 1 26739U 01014C 01114.47760685 .00844773 32819-5 10695-2 0 448 2 26739 40.0295 234.3496 0992278 225.4065 126.1349 13.99760891 2338 Most of line zero, the "Mars Odsy Dl r 7.0 2.0 0.0 5.5 d 10" part, is copied from Mike McCants's elset file mccants.zip/tle. The latter is available via Mike's tle page at http://users2.ev1.net/~mmccants/tles/index.html The "5.5 d" indicates that the standard magnitude of 5.5 is an estimate based on the object's dimensions. For other objects, the flag "v" is used to show that the standard magnitude is derived from visual observations.
