Changes to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for October 10, 2019
The following Amateur Radio satellite has decayed from orbit and has been removed from this week's TLE distribution:
TNS 0-2 - NORAD CAT ID 42914 - Decayed 10/15/2019 (per Space-Track).
Last week a number of "N"s were present in a few TLEs which caused some programs to reject those TLEs. Note: Some (but not all) of the raw TLEs from SpaceTrack have plus signs (+) which are not necessary. All plus signs (+) in the TLEs are routinely changed to a blank space.
Last week all plus signs were incorrectly change to the letter "N". I had changed my formatting program and made a typing error that substituted a "N" instead of a single blank space everytime a plus sign was present. (The "N" is right above the space bar and I typed too fast!) That problem has been corrected and should not be an issue in the future.
