Comment 3 for bug 831702

Maybe we could have a new data entry LaunchDate in the JSON file for
each satellite, before which the object is always turned off. This
value could default to 1957 if not specific.

However, I feel like this is somewhat insufficient. Better would be
to have some sort of period of accuracy (a window a few weeks either
side of the last TLE update), and hide satellites outside this period
(TLE predictions get inaccurate really quickly!). Such a time window
should be enabled by default, with an option to ignore it...
