[amsat-bb] Space-Track TLEs now include PSAT2 and BRICSAT2 (aka USNAP1)

[Robert Bruninga]

PSAT2 was originally conceived 4 years ago as PSAT-2 in contrast to the
original PSAT.  But since we use PSAT when the digi is on, and PSAT-1 when
the digi is off, then it was a problem with what to do about PSAT-2.

So we put the "2" in the  name so we could use the SSID to indicatet a
change of state.  So PSAT2-1 is safemode with DIGI off and PSAT2 is the
callsign when the digi is on.  Jusst like PSAT-1 and PSAT.

Right now, the DIGI is off since the uplink is on 145.98 for DTMF-grid
experiment.

Thanks, Fred.  GPredict has them now, though there are now two PSAT2s in the
database (other one is 44357).  PSAT2 vs the correct PSAT-2.  Note the dash.
One needs to do some serious hard drive spelunking to clear out the prior
information, so I'm just going to leave it there.
