The TLE sets above changed to use the temporary NORAD IDs from DB entries:

@ps_observer thanks for the TLE!

Is there any reason for using on them a negative B* drag value? I’m asking because in the past we’ve seen such TLE sets to become quickly inaccurate.

Hi Fredy,
Thank you for your intereset and help. We are generating TLE data using STK engine, this is a new topic for us also, we are still working on it. Therefore TLE is valid for for a few days and we update TLE daily.
