A user interface suggestion: I tried using the 'Find Satellite' option and manually scrolling through all the options in the drop down menu was a little tedious. Maybe allow a filter by typing the first couple of letters?

Also, what are the US GPS satellites listed under? I saw Beidou, GLONASS, and Galileo but I couldn't find the GPS satellites.

The GPS satellites bus is listed under GPS, GPS II, GPS IIA, GPS IIF, and GPS IIR. It looks like a bug that the Payload isn't showing up. I see one as GPS SVN 10. I may be only showing payloads where there are at least 2 with the same name - otherwise there would be a dropdown that is 30,000 long.

Love your suggestion to improve the search feature to be more like the main search dropdown. Adding it to the list of to-dos on the github issues.

Ah got it, there was a 'Constellation' option to find the GPS sats.
