You saying that if I lived on another planet or in another star system then my

SpaceTrack, where we should be encouraging people to get keps from, only use
the full proper names.
It's only the likes of Amsat, ARRL etc that replace them with the abbreviated

I've never had a problem with Orbitron.
It just works!
Just did an update from Celestrack although it's not the service I normally use.

Perhaps it's time a few mode people ditched the Oscar number and used the
