Hello All, Though this is off topic. I thought many may benefit with knowledge which objects have been re-cataloged (permanently?) by USSPACECOM in recent years. I would like to post one item more or less per day. The total count of recats is around 70 objects, but I'll provide only the significant ones which have no relationship to other object. Some recats are interesting in that the country ownership of the object had changed (along with the cospar) after several years. Please note I'm not saying which is the correct entry for stated NORAD number. You will have to be the judge. Each post, using available electronic Satellite Situation Reports, will show the 'earliest' and last record of original object; the first and current report of new object; and the respective TLEs at time of changed designation if on hand. If there are any objections or questions please contact me directly. 12125U USSPACECOM recat of 1980-105C to 1980-074D occured with Jan 1998 SSR ---------- GSFC_33.04 (Dec 31, 1993) 1980-105C 12125 USSR 26 DEC <snip> ---------- GSFC_38.12 (Dec 31, 1997) 1980-105C 12125 CIS 87.8 67.1 201 127 no tle found After five years USSR to US ownership as: ---------- GSFC_39.01 (Jan 31, 1998) 1980-074D 12125 US 111.5 26.5 2490 103 <snip> ---------- GSFC_41.04 (Apr 30, 2000) 1980-074D 12125 US 111.5 26.5 2490 103 no tle found John Gardner,Jr Hoarder of TLEs gardjw@juno.com 76.98569 W 39.00195 N 62.484m ASL ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!
