Missing satellites
Bill J. Gray Mar 22, 2001
Bob, thanks for pointing out the simple explanation (satellites not
turned on.) I sort of leapt to a conclusion about Y2K there.
Oliver, the main problem with satellites such as those in GEO.TLE is
simply that Guide has no magnitude data for them. So if you're only
showing satellites to a certain magnitude limit (that is, satellites
are "auto" or "fixed"), Guide will omit the "magnitude-less" objects.
Turn satellites "on", and those objects will suddenly leap into view.
