4. Table 2: objects without TLEs during the last 6 months

This table contains all objects for which the TLEs were not updated during the last six months or for which no TLEs are available at all. They are ordered according to the following criteria:
  1. Status C, then according to the COSPAR identifier.
  2. Status D, then according to the ascending order of the mean drift rate (which is equivalent to the decreasing order of the mean semi-major axis).
  3. Status L1, then according to the ascending order of the libration period (which is equivalent to the ascending order of the libration magnitude).
  4. Status L2, then according to the ascending order of the libration period (which is equivalent to the ascending order of the libration magnitude).
  5. Status L3, then according to the ascending order of the libration period (which is equivalent to the ascending order of the libration magnitude).
  6. Status U, then according to the COSPAR identifier.
  7. Status UU, then according to the COSPAR identifier.

The following symbols are used:

  • nn: is the reference number.
  • COSPAR: is the COSPAR identification.
  • Name: is the object's common name.
  • Date: is the epoch of the last available TLE.
  • λ: is the mean longitude of the satellite (in degrees).
  • λ': is the mean drift of the satellite (in deg/days).
  • Δa: is the difference between the satellite's mean semi-major axis and the geostationary semi-major axis (in km).
  • Δrp: is the perigee mean deviation from the geostationary altitude (in km).
  • Δra: is the apogee mean deviation from the geostationary altitude (in km).
  • Plib: is the libration period (in days).
  • Δλ: is the libration magnitude (in degrees): Δλ=λmax - λmin
  • λmin: is the minimum longitude of the libration (in degrees).
  • λmax: is the maximum longitude of the libration (in degrees).
  • Nly: is the number of Two-Line Elements stored during the last 52 weeks.
  • Ntot: is the total number of Two-Line Elements available for this object.
  • MJD: is the Modified Julian Date (number of days since 01-Jan-1950) corresponding to "Date"
  • a, e, i, Ω, ω and λ are the last values of the satellite's semi-major axis (in km), eccentricity, inclination (in degrees), right-ascension of the ascending node (in degrees), perigee argument (in degrees) and longitude (in degrees).
