The following five satellites/object numbers have been deleted:

As noted last week, Nayif-1 was launched with 103 other satellites on 2-15-2017. The cloud of satellites is beginning to spread and Nico Janssen, PA0DLO, has developed a TLE set that many on AMSAT-BB say is very accurate. I have included it in this week's distribution. Thanks again to a very busy Nico for his excellent work.

Note that SpaceTrack has not assigned a NORAD CAT ID as yet. Thus I am using Nico's Cat ID of 60000. So you will find Nayif-1 at the very end of the TLE list.

Keith Pugh, W5IU, suggested that I include Nayif-1 in the regular distribution so those using apps like PocketSat would be able to track it. Good idea Keith. (I have PocketSat myself!)
