NAME
GPS::PRN - Package for PRN - Object ID conversions.
SYNOPSIS
use GPS::PRN;
my $obj = GPS::PRN->new();
print "PRN: ", $obj->prn_oid(22231), "\n";
print "OID: ", $obj->oid_prn(1), "\n";DESCRIPTION
Object Identification Number (OID)
The catalog number assigned to the object by the US Air Force. The numbers are assigned sequentially as objects are cataloged. This is the most common way to search for TLE data on this site.
Object numbers less then 10000 are always aligned to the right, and padded with zeros or spaces to the left.
Pseudo Randum Numbers (PRNs)
GPS satellites are identified by the receiver by means of PRN-numbers. Real GPS satellites are numbered from 1 – 32. WAAS/EGNOS satellites and other pseudolites higher numbers are assigned. These PRN-numbers of the satellites appear on the satellite view screens of many GPS receivers. For simplification of the satellite network 32 different PRN-numbers are available.
CONVENTIONS
Function naming convention is "format of the return" underscore "format of the parameters."
