Hi All.
Since already compiled and it couldn't hurt...
A bit off the topic, but for those who may be interested. A
count of objects which position cannot be readily determined.
637 objects from OIG/GSFC SSR vol 40 #7 released August 1999
All satellite status were marked as "N/A" by OIG/GSFC.
90 heliocentric orbit
30 barycentric orbit
10 Mars orbit (see below)
16 selenocentric orbit
6 Venus orbit (see below)
4 solar escape ( 1 position unknown ? )
455 no information...nearly all associated with Black objects
------
611
+ 26 id'd with 'write off' date ( mainly barycentric per others )
=====
637 Total 182 without the black objects
Assuming data is accessible. Anyone want to take a shot at creating
a TLE for an object centered on another planet or our moon? Could be
a great challenge for those with very large scopes (limb views only).
