FLEETSconstant

The fleets, in the order a filter lists them. Only payloads belong to one: the spent rocket bodies and the debris that carry a fleet's name (IRIDIUM 33 DEB, STARLINK-1234 R/B) are not part of it. A satellite whose name does not say which fleet it is (many of GLONASS's are named COSMOS and a number) is not matched.
