The catalog passed 99,999 in July: a test corpus for TLE/OMM parsers

My question: which parts of the SatNOGS stack still ingest TLEs (python-satellitetle, the network scheduler, client-side tooling?), and has anyone checked how they handle objects above 99,999? I haven’t tested any SatNOGS component and don’t want to guess. If it helps, I’m happy to run the corpus against specific parsers or add an adapter.

Currently none of the SatNOGS components support orbital data with NORAD ID >99999.
We are working on this and in the next couple of weeks there will be supported.

Support will come in two forms, we will try to be compatible with both alpha-5 and OMM (JSON for now) formats. Depending on the sub-project there will be different support level.

For more details stay tuned in the forum as there will be announcements about the changes. If you want to see more technical details, you can take a look in gitlab repositories of each sub-project.
