asteroids numbered from 21000 to 21999
Update :
discovered duplicate in 'asteroids numbered from 6000 to 6999'. This is "Dubinin:6359 Dubinin:1977 AZ1" "Sol" # OuterMainBelt
I also found missing "Koppel:6361 Koppel:1978 VL11" "Sol" # (MainBeltAsteroid)

The site (www.physics.sfasu.edu/astro/asteroids/sizemagnitude.html) that I had found to calculate the diameter of asteroids as a function of H (absolute magnitude) no longer works
You can use instead in JPL:

I get the info from Small-Body Database Query (JPL). After selecting a thousand asteroids, I copy/paste the data from the site into an Excel spreadsheet.
The sheet is made to recompose each ssc line for each asteroid displayed.
With macro-commands, buttons make it possible to copy the result in memory to paste it in an .ssc file, others make me change line therefore of asteroid in the spreadsheet.
Lately I've automated the process for a whole range of asteroids, which goes even faster.
Added after 10 minutes 2 seconds:
I had uploaded the asteroids from 41000 to 45000 just before celestiaproject.space broke but I don't see them showing up.
I drop them here again with the following 46000 to 50000

50,000 asteroids catalogued for Celestia within a few weeks...what an impressive feat to achieve gironde!
