Two-line element set line 2: Line number column is not checked · case 03

A line from another record type is decoded as orbital elements.

Case contract

Input one TLE line-2 string. It must be exactly 69 characters and start with "2", else None. Fields by 1-based columns: inclination 9-16, RAAN 18-25, eccentricity 27-33 with an implied leading decimal point, argument of perigee 35-42, mean anomaly 44-51, mean motion 53-63, revolution number 64-68, checksum 69 (sum of digits in columns 1-68, "-" counts 1, mod 10). Return [inc, raan, ecc, argp, M, n, rev, checksum_ok].

Why this case matters

Orbit determination and mission planning chain many small conversions; one wrong branch or unit silently moves a spacecraft by kilometres.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
