In test_SatelliteVisibility, the TLE is read from COSMOS_2428.txt, and then it is propagated for 24 hours or more, and the satellite's visibility is checked based on algorithm 74 of Vallado (2013). Please note that I have modified Vallado's algorithm 74 and compared my program with AGI STK; the accuracy was a fraction of a second utilizing a one-second propagation interval. I haven't considered azimuth and elevation masks here, so the satellite's visibility intervals might increase.
