Moin Bjoern,

BG>the maneuvre appears to have been made on Apr.02, possibly around 20:2=
6 UT.

using your elset

this leads to the satellite being over Greenland at the beginning of the
maneuvre, thereafter moving towards continental USA. Is this common pract=
ice or
just a coincidence? I rather expect the first, since it's then possible t=
o
evaluate the new orbit immediately.

Hej d=86, Marco
