Since the satpass script is deprecated and upstream has plans to remove it
completely, maybe it's better to skip it and port Astro::App::Satpass2
along with at least Astro::SpaceTrack (it is much less useful without that..)

can be used to do something immediately useful, rather than just the calculation
module which is obviously meant to work with a number of other modules.
