bester.com Satellite software developers and users will, however, encounter another problem that one might call the Year 2050 Problem. Since the first satellite was launched in 1957, it has become a common standard in the aerospace community that all two-digit years from 50 to 99 are to be interpreted as 1950 through 1999, whereas years from 00 to 49 are interpreted as 2000 to 2049. This means that the millennium problem is not encountered at the transition to the year 2000, but at 2050.
