Changes for version 0.099_01 - 2017-10-04

  • Added Iridium status decayed ('[D]', portable status is 3 -- BODY_STATUS_IS_DECAYED).
  • Add iridium_status() format 'spacetrack'. Space Track has no idea whether a given satellite is in service or not, but does know whether it has decayed. So the status reported for a given OID is from Celestrak if it has it and the satellite is still in orbit. If a satellite is not in the Celestrak data but Space Track reports it as still in orbit, its status will be unknown ('[?]'), and its portable status will be tumbling.
  • Add a hard-wired internal Iridium status table having the Space Track data. This is used to supplement data from other sources, since they typically drop a satellite once it has decayed.
  • Add iridium_status() option -raw, which reports statuses un-supplemented by Celestrak or canned data to the extent this is possible. This option can be specified either command-line style (i.e. '-raw') or in a leading hash ref (i.e. '{ raw => 1 }'). This is in support of generating the above hard-wired table.
  • Add script 'tools/all_iridium_classic', which queries Space Track for all Iridium satellites, and reports the status of the original-design Iridiums. This is for generating the canned status tables in Astro::SpaceTrack and Astro::Coord::ECI::TLE.
  • Remove tests for iridium_status( 'mccants' ), since this is both unmaintained and deprecated.
