Notes
POPPY 2: The NCST list gives decay lifetimes to the nearest day. The POPPY history also gives lifetimes for those sats. This makes the identifications secure, despite the confused naming in the SATCAT ("Radose 112" is not PL112.) Another source (the Sheldon list) gives one of the satellites as 'Ferret 130'; I suspect therefore that satellite Bravo is PL130.LOFTI: LOFTI IIA and LOFTI IIB are sometimes referred to as LOFTI II and LOFTI IIA respectively.
