+#
+# This Pythion script is used to update the satellite data in the repository
+# with fresh data from CelesTrak.
+#
+# The script is not needed by end users.
+#
+# First, the script fetches the TLE data (.txt files) from CelesTrak.
+# Then it loads the existing satellites.dat file into memory and replaces
+# the TLE1 and TLE2 lines. At the same time, the contents of the .cat files
+# are updated by adding new satellites to the .cat files. Satellites are
+# not removed from the .cat files, since they could be added by user. The
+# tle-new.cat is different: This file will simply contain the same satellites
+# as the fresh tle-new.txt file.
