With this information,

I thought, lets update the TLE data for AO-27.
But when I queried the space-track database I got another name for
norad-id 22825 ?

0 KITSAT B
1 22825U 93061C   13304.75582515  .00000229  00000-0  10682-3 0  5154

Strange, in amateur.txt via Celestrak it says

EYESAT-1 (AO-27
1 22825U 93061C   13304.75582515  .00000229  00000-0  10682-3 0  5154
2 22825  98.6342 247.4246 0007462 243.1674 177.4743 14.29604597 48145

Seems a glitch in the space-track database ????
