Get Satellite by International Designator

Look up satellite orbital elements using the international designator (COSPAR ID / Harvard designation). Returns orbital element sets for all objects associated with the designator: primary payload (suffix A), rocket body (B), and debris fragments (C onward). Format is YYYY-NNNX where YYYY=launch year, NNN=launch number of year (zero-padded to 3 digits), X=piece letter. Examples: "1998-067A" (ISS ZARYA module launched 1998, 67th launch, primary payload), "1990-037B" (Hubble Space Telescope), "2019-029B" (Starlink batch 1 rocket body). Useful when you know the mission designator but not the NORAD catalog number. Data from US Space Force via CelesTrak.
