    Full details of all registration errors by all member states since
    the opening of the UN convention in 1962 may be found at

    examples...
    
    All classified satellites in 1999-2000:
    
    1999-017A (DSP)   Orbit given is wrong.
    1999-023A (Milstar) Orbit given is wrong.
    2000-001A (DSCS)  Orbit given is not the final orbit.
    2000-001C (IABS)  Orbit given is wrong.
    2000-024A (DSP)   Data is correct.
    2000-024D (IUS)   Inclination given is wrong (probably accidental typo).
    
    2000-047A (NRO)   Data is correct.
    2000-065A (DSCS)  Orbit given is not the final orbit.
    2000-065C (IABS)  Orbit given is wrong.
    2000-080A (NRO)   Orbit given is not the final orbit.
    
    For example, the orbit given for 1999-017A is actually
    the orbit of another object from the 1999-017 launch.
    In contrast, the data given for unclassified satellites is
    substantially correct, with the following exceptions (mostly
    US satellites launched outside US territory)
    
    1999-014: Demosat satellite not registered (Boeing Sea Launch).
    1999-012, 1999-019, 1999-031, 1999-049, 1999-058, 1999-062:
               24 Globalstar satellites not registered.
    1999-053A: LMI 1 satellite not registered.
    2000-035A: Correctly registered, but incorrectly
                stated that launch was made from US territory.
    2000-067A: QuickBird satellite not registered.
    2000-075C: Incorrectly registered (ST/SG/SER.E/385);
                it is actually a Swedish satellite already
                registered in ST/SG/SER.E/380 by Sweden.
