Hi All,
This is probably a dumb question but I am evaluating NOVA and wonder why none of the satellites I am interested in seem to be in the Nova database>
I found ISS but where is AO-51, SO-50 and VO-52 for a start?
Thanks in advance.

NOVA uses the names listed in the Space-Track catalog.
SO-50 goes by the name SAUDISAT 1C (NORAD Catalog #27607). AO-51 goes by the name AMSAT ECHO (NORAD Catalog #28375). VO-52 goes by the name HAMSAT (NORAD Catalog #28650).
The AMSAT website lists the "Common Name" for each satellite on their status page along with the NORAD Catalog number. That will let you find your desired satellites.
