Satellite List

When looking for the operational status of some satellites & their instruments, I noticed there doesn’t appear to be a combined list for all. Thats why I compiled this list and wrote together information on (almost) all satellites that are featured in satDump. Maybe its useful to someone - if you spot any mistakes or want to add to it, please let me know! I made this list with the best of my knowledge, but mistakes can always happen - Crosswalkersam

Thanks to Zbychu, Aang23, SnazzLazz and Carl Reinemann for double checking this list!
