Ide have to disagree on both. It's a space craft..an entire different entity. Its an orbiting spacecraft, that can be taken out of orbit at any time, and not @ random.. probably de classifying it as a sat.
That's just a stab at the real reason.. works in my head tho.

Can someone sanity check me, please? I'm trying to convince a guy at the ARRL that the ISS needs to be added to the LoTW as a satellite and he says it is not valid because it isn't a satellite but rather an airplane.
Anyone out there help me with this?
