Bug Description

Satellite SL-16 R/B causes Stellarium to freeze when displayed, at least on my computer. Alexander Wolf reports that his computer didn't froze, but the TEME coordinates were messed up for that satellite.

Current TLE data from the Satellites plug-in configuration window:
1 37873U 11065B 11326.62730923 .12246307 12699-4 13812-3 0 553
2 37873 51.4209 285.7430 0016524 77.3660 283.3856 16.48859511 2204

On the top of that, there are multiple rocket bodies with the designation "SL-16 R/B" in Celestrak's Visual list:

I'm taking a look at it. Got a fix which prevents crashes - automatically remove a satellite if it's altitude <= 0. Will commit a fix shortly.
