The Satellite Catalog Number (SATCAT), also known as NORAD Catalog Number, NORAD ID, USSPACECOM object number, is a sequential nine-digit number assigned by the United States Space Command (USSPACECOM), and previously the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), in the order of launch or discovery to all artificial objects in the orbits of Earth and those that left Earth's orbit.

The satellite was designated USA-195 under the U.S. military's designation system, and received the International Designator 2007-046A and Satellite Catalog Number 32258. [ 1 ] [ 6 ] References
A secondary cause for the increase in Satellite Catalog Numbers was the commercialization of space and break-up events and collisions that have created debris objects. [17] Adaptations of the TLE were considered to extend the number of encodable Satellites within the TLE but instead a new format, the CCSDS OMM (Orbit Mean-Elements Message ...
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has maintained a database of satellite states since the launch of the first Sputnik in 1957, known as the Space Object Catalog, or simply the Space Catalog. These satellite states are regularly updated with observations from the Space Surveillance Network, a globally distributed network of ...

Pass Predictions API by Re CAE provides a live objects catalog and pass predictions. It features a filtering system for the catalog to only display objects with matching name or ID. The pass predictions generates, among other things, the time window, minimum elevation and the apparent brightness of the object in the sky.
In short, it is a web and computer program that takes satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS (Geographic Information System) data and superimposes all of this on a 3D globe.
The International Designator, also known as COSPAR ID, is an international identifier assigned to artificial objects in space. [1] It consists of the launch year, a three-digit incrementing launch number of that year [n 1] and up to a three-letter code representing the sequential identifier of a piece in a launch.
