[amsat-bb] Lightsail2

[Alfredos (fredy) Damkalis]

Hello Hans,

In SatNOGS we have several good observations[1] of LightSail-2 and some
of them with decoded data.

For now there isn't a norad id to describe fully LighSail-2 orbit.
However OBJECT A with norad id 44339 is the closest fit. For more
updates on LightSail-2 orbit/TLE or for the other satellites of STP-2
launch you can check this thread[2].

73,
fredy
