Just wondering if Sitrec has been updated to accept the new Celestrak data format?
URGENT: We ran out of 5-digit catalog numbers with the addition of Saramago on 2026-07-11. We had estimated that to occur around 2026‑07‑12 back on 2026-05-09. The official USSF SATCAT is now at 100178. All newly cataloged objects will have 6-digit catalog numbers of 100000+ and GP data will not be available for them using the TLE format. CelesTrak developed new formats that removed the 5-digit catalog number limitation (and finally fixed the Y2K problem) in May 2020 and immediately began providing GP data in those formats for software developers. Please be sure to adhere to our usage policy when retrieving any CelesTrak data. The same limitations apply to the legacy fixed-field SATCAT. That legacy format will continue to update but will only contain data for objects with catalog numbers below 70000. Be sure to follow @TSKelso on Bluesky for the latest updates, tutorials, and changes as we move forward. Spread the word! ‑ TS
The new formats are defined here:

I tried with the attached csv but it didnt seem to work.
I've updated the space-data, but not Celestrak. I shall assign a robot to the task.
It's loading them, just not detecting them as Starlink.
I shall fix it, but for now you can just turn on "Other Satellites" to show them.
FYI, if ever needed, here's a conversion tool to convert to/from TLE to/from CSV.

Note that CuriousPilot accepts all of the Space-Track and Celestrak file formats for satellite elements.
The software uses CSV format internally.
