I may thus be too late to help, but if not, I'll be happy to send you the program ORB-YEAR.EXE ver 4.8 All you need to extract nearly everything save actual launch date/site & orbital data for each year is the ZIP format of the _current_ full OIG/GSFC Satellite Situation Report (SSR). A companion program is also available to show the "calving" date window (when item first appeared) of all debris objects. Here are samples of just the summaries created for year 2000 & 2001. Note year 2001 doesn't include the latest new launches published since OIG/GSFC SSR 41.12 with total launch count of 26687 so far? Will be noted in next SSR report. Each of the four (4) defined files created will list the NORAD number, assigned name, Intl' launch ID (cospar) and decay date of objects for each year you select. Following objects found in GSFC_41.12 for year 2000 8555 Total Objects Orbiting in 2000. 26117 items cataloged to date. 1558 Primary payloads ( A ) 1039 Rocket bodies ( B ) and/or secondary payloads 631 All objects with unknown orbital status 5327 C, D, ect... and Debris objects 17562 Objects decayed prior to 2000 View P-ORBIT.00 (A,B objects), UNKNOWN.00, DECAY.00, DEBRIS.00 and SCREEN.00 Following objects found in GSFC_41.12 for year 2001 8962 Total Objects Orbiting in 2001. 26643 items cataloged to date. 1606 Primary payloads ( A ) 1069 Rocket bodies ( B ) and/or secondary payloads 642 All objects with unknown orbital status 5645 C, D, ect... and Debris objects 17681 Objects decayed prior to 2001 View P-ORBIT.01 (A,B objects), UNKNOWN.01, DECAY.01, DEBRIS.01 and SCREEN.01 Note program needs a simple update each anniversary date of January 12th due simply unknown number of launches for the remainder of the year. :) Again, hope this may be of some help if not too late.
