## Challenge description
## Analyzing what we know
The challenge provided a **`data.txt`** file containing **TLE** (Two-Line Element) data, commonly used to track satellites. Here’s the TLE provided:
```
1 43728U 18096K 23081.21782463 .01925735 32332–2 20784–2 0 9995
2 43728 97.3099 175.2941 0008625 277.9511 82.0794 16.10744455241223
```
Through research, I discovered that **43728** is the satellite ID.
## Looking for the satellite through public records
I used the **SatNOGS Network**, a public database for satellite observations. Since the challenge required finding the last observation with a **"Good"** status, I filtered the results accordingly.
* [SatNOGS Network](https://network.satnogs.org/)
## Steps I followed:
1. Navigate to the **Observations** tab.
2. Search for satellite ID **43728** in SatNOGS.
3. Filter for observations with a **"Good"** status.
4. Scroll to the last successful observation.
The last station with a “Good” status was **766 — Dunchurch**.
Therefore, we found the flag
```
CyCTF{766-Dunchurch}
```
