Hello All, The USSPACECOM posting of 26558U/1962-051B sparked my interest as to how many other objects were discovered not cataloged. No complaint here. I rather have an object cataloged late than forever missed or swept under the rug. Even worst would be to re-number the entire SSR catalog to accommodate them...yuk!! Here are the top ten objects. 116 were found of which 25 were 'victimized' by year rollover prior to actual release. Program output (here sorted in terms of cataloged object count) was restricted to publicized larger principle objects in Earth orbit.
