Support for New Satellite "Ten-Koh 2" (SatNOGS ID: 99245) and Manual DB Refresh #398

Description

@JF9SOM

The "Ten-Koh 2" satellite from Nihon University has finally been deployed from the ISS and is now in orbit. I am very excited to attempt receiving its 5.8 GHz CW beacon using this GPredict with HackRF and an AZ-GTi mounted parabolic antenna.

I have noticed that the Ten-Koh 2's TLE data is updated, but its transponder data does not yet appear in the radio pulldown menu of the app. It is already registered on the SatNOGS DB with a Temporary ID:

Questions:

  1. Does the current GPredict fetch include satellites with "Temporary IDs" from SatNOGS, or only those with official NORAD IDs?
  2. Is there a specific command or manual procedure to force a database refresh to pull the latest entries from SatNOGS?
  3. If it is not possible to fetch it automatically, could you guide me on how to manually add a new entry (Frequency) to the internal database?

Thank you for your support!
