All -

Dare I make some somewhat critical comments about the CSpOC and the satellite catalog?

Now that they are releasing TLEs for long-tracked objects, will they have time to add the objects that ISON tracks, that other people track, that are not yet in the satellite catalog? Some of those might be the "analyst satellites" I guess. 

Now that they are releasing TLEs for long-tracked objects, they will have time to identify objects like from 2018-104, the Electron launch from New Zealand? I know that DARPA has already told them what one of those objects must be - but it is not updated yet. They are very very slow about updating the satellite catalog and I cannot think what the reasons might be.
