Les,
The LituanicaSAT-1 team applied for an OSCAR number a couple of weeks ago. They are still waiting for it's assignment. Hopefully it will be before it reenters! It's tradition that a satellite has one name before launch and a different one upon launch and activation.
You should use the CelesTrak keps as they are updated more frequently. The atmospheric drag at the satellite's altitude requires frequent updates. The LituanicaSAT-1 keps are located in the cubesat.txt file. not amateur.txt. The name is LITUANICASAT-1.
A detailed tutorial of how to add new satellites to SatPC32 is located here: http://www.dk1tb.de/FAQ_e.htm#NewSat

I'd really like to work a contact or two through the new bird while it's still up. Can someone walk me through how to add this to SATPC32 and/or Nova for Windows? I've downloaded the latest KEPS, but have no idea which one might be LituanicaSAT-1.
Frankly, the naming conventions are confusing, especially for newcomers. What, exactly was wrong with OSCAR-1, OSCAR-2, etc?
Thanks in advance, for both assistance and patience.
