[amsat-bb] Re: Adding AO-73 to SATPC32 and Nova for Windows

[Ted]

Alan,

Are you suggesting that SATPC32 cannot be updated with the various 'objects'
that keep popping up, For example, the Funcube web site currently says they
believe that AO73 is actually object 2013-066AE. Can that object be entered
and selected in SATPC? (I suspect that these minor diffs between what is
labeled as AO73 vs. 2013-066AE don't really make any practical difference
when using SatPC32 to work the bird)

Pls share your thoughts

73, Ted

Les,

Remember that the Keps are provided from CelesTrak.  SatPC32 does not
control which source file contains a particular satellite. New satellites
normally move over to the regular categories in about
30 days.

You can find a discussion of adding satellites to SatPC32 and NfW here:
