Lacrosse 3 is a classified US object. I had thought we were banning the posting of observations, TLEs, and other information regarding classified US sats? But you know, if Heavens-Above is going to post orbital data of Lacrosse 3, then why not lift the ban on SeeSat-L? Or convince Heavens-Above to squelch its data on classified US satellites? ------------------------------ Jonathan T.
