This file contains "median" RCS values from SSRs over the last several years for 8000+ objects that are currently in orbit. The third column of data is the number of "independent" RCS values found. (May 6, 2008) rcs.zip
When I notice that the names or tles for two objects have been switched, I will add a comment to this page. (Aug. 1, 2007)
The Spacecom Satellite Situation Report is available from space-track.org.
Jonathan McDowell has a satellite catalog on his
Space Report Home Page
The link to his catalog is called "Satellite Catalog". His
version was updated in September, 2006.
His file has about 29500 lines and a typical line is 190 characters long, so
his file is about 5.5 megs.
His catalog contains entries in the form (but with more information):
