PassReasontype

Why a pass is or is not visible: visible; daylight (the watcher's sky is too bright for the whole pass); shadow (the sky is dark enough but the satellite is in the Earth's shadow for all of it); faint (it is lit and the sky is dark, but it is fainter than the limiting magnitude).

Import it
