SatNOGS and orbit determination - Collaboration with Celestrak

I’ll further draw attention to this post where you see the entire kabuki dance of “which one’s MY satellite” play out in all its splendor.

Good times !!

It’s like reliving my childhood boy scout “Snipe Hunt” days all over again… (those in other countries probably have a similar indoctrination process to adulthood), except it’s with expensive hardware in orbit…

Not trying to play on anyone’s past painful experiences here (well, maybe a little :sunglasses:), but this particular pattern is likely to continue and become magnified into the future. I’d simply like to channel those frustrations, and emotional/visceral feelings to fix {something}…

At least in that forum post, there were more colorful waterfalls than language at the near-futility of chasing your tail in circles.

Cheers
