I just asked for 32058-32245 and in no case was there a more recent one in 'Last 5'. Could it be that the database was updated between your 'Latest' and (following?) 'Last 5' ? Or that they are (re-)setting a flag for each 'latest' elset, some time after the update itself. ----- Original Message ----- > > Lately I've noticed that if I retrieve a TLE on SpaceTrack by entering the > satellite ID and leaving the selection as "Latest Elset" it will return a > recent TLE, but not necessarily the latest.
