I was bored and decided to read the 7859 mail messages which have COSPAR 
IDs in them. I have augmented the list significantly compared to the one 
quoted by Andreas. However, I have some concerns about publishing it.

Going back to Cees Bassa's "sattools" on GitHub, I notice that in the 
"data" directory that the most recent change as of today (9 November 
2021) is that he deleted sites.txt back on 1 April 2020.

Mr. Bassa, was there a reason you chose to remove the file?
