Hello All,
RE: Re-transmission of earlier Oct 16,1999 SSR post with clarifications.
I decided to make a monthly report of significant changes found in
the OIG Satellite Situation Report (SSR) due the number of such items
found. OIG's report is based on TLEs received from USSPACECOM. And
users without program routines to 'catch' such re-cataloged TLEs or
name changes may not be aware of them.
The May SSR report was the first to incorporate OIG's new format.
Starting then with May, the following thumbnail reports. Please make
any requests for previous full reports on this matter directly to my
email address.
June/May v40#6/v40#5 0 re-cataloged 0 significant name changes
July/June v40#7/v40#6 12 re-cataloged 2 significant name changes
Aug/July v40#8/v40#7 2 re-cataloged 0 significant name change
Sept/Aug v40#9/v40#8 current full report shown below
Significant name changes are defined as those clearly not same object.
In other cases, name is similar, but generally more precise in nature.
==========================================================================
Oct 1999 40/9 & 40/8 5 cospars / 3 names
An advisory for those interested in the monthly OIG/GSFC SSRs.
The following listings are of discrepancies and/or corrections
found in comparison of the Satellite Situation Reports Sept v40#9
and Aug v40#8 Note: No search made for launch/decay date conflicts.
Comparison was restricted to the COSPAR (international launch item #).
The 1st item of each set is from current report. 5 re-catalogs found.
