The TLE data depends on the exact positions of each item. Positions are compromised when copying documents. Such damaged TLE data are not in sat programs as GPredict) processed.
The repair is simple. Just compare the positions of dots and dashes in TLE data and move items to the correct positions.
Already for FOX-1D I wrote a TLEdoctor program that can display flawed positions and can easily be corrected by comparing with the template. After repair, GPredict data can be uploaded and we can take all advantages of our sat program during the first pass.
