Try this. I changed two of the nan to just na to maintain column alignment. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

# http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1186932

use strict;
use warnings;

my $high = 0;

while(<DATA>)
  {
  $high < $_ and $high = $_ for /SATID (\d\d)/g;

  # middle
  s/SATID (\d\d) .{17}SIGNAL \d\d \K {35}(?= SATID (\d\d))/SATID @{[
    $1 + $2 >> 1]} VAL1 na VAL2 nan SIGNAL na/g;

  # beginning
  s/\d:\d\d:\d\d \K {35}(?= SATID (\d\d))/SATID @{[
    $1 - 1]} VAL1 na VAL2 nan SIGNAL na/;

  # end
  while( /.*SATID (\d\d)/ and $1 < $high )
    {
    my $nextnumber = $1 + 1;
    s/$/ SATID $nextnumber VAL1 na VAL2 nan SIGNAL na/;
    }

  print;
  }
