SpaceTrack updates (I believe) twice a day with anything they can see on the radar but it can then take several days to correctly identify and label the object.

Hi all, I use Orbitron for satellite tracking and get my TLE/KEPS from CelesTrak and/or Space-Track. Whenever there is a new launch, I can never figure out which satellites are "NEW" from the names given on my list of satellites.

Does Celestrak/Spacetrak update their data as soon as the bird is launched our should I do it manually?

Orbitron has a TLE-NEW.txt file that usually shows the space shuttle launches in a format that I know. (example...STS-123)

I hope this makes sense to someone. I'm not sure if I have made myself clear. hihi

TIA
