Thanks for noticing the object number discrepancy. nasabare.txt is now updated to match Space-track and Celestrak objects for SPOC and Bobcat-1

Here's what I get from nasabare.txt just now:
Bobcat-1 1 46921U 98067RR 21028.50303703 .00009907 00000-0 17081-3 0 9991 2 46921 51.6440 312.5059 0001077 270.0391 90.0475 15.51703786 13110
Here is the Celestrak TLE:
BOBCAT-1 1 46922U 98067RS 21028.16689903 .00013398 00000-0 22393-3 0 9994 2 46922 51.6444 314.0135 0000588 267.5437 92.5486 15.52237632 13027
They give very different positions.
But look, the NORAD designation is different! 46921 is actually SPOC. They names have been swapped in nasabare.txt
