For those who may be interested, here are some possibly new bibliographic items (at least some of them). Rogers, Lucy. It's ONLY Rocket Science (Chapter 9 covers the topic of observing satellites.) -- http://www.itsonlyrocketscience.com/index.html Same book on Springerlink -- http://www.springerlink.com/content/978-0-387-75378-2 I don't think I've seen the next one listed here. Proceedings of the Sixth US/Russian Space Surveillance Workshop, August 22-26, 2005. The session titles are: SESSION 1. Space Surveillance Systems & Operations SESSION 2. Orbital Debris SESSION 3. Space Surveillance A SESSION 4. Atmospheric Density SESSION 5. Orbit Determination SESSION 6. Optical Systems and Observations SESSION 7. Space Surveillance B SESSION 8. Deep Space Each session included two to five presentations. Many of them appear to be on-topic for SeeSat-L (generally pretty advanced, no doubt). Here's the link: http://lfvn.astronomer.ru/report/0000015/index.htm A while back Allen Thomson provided a list from the same site: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/Mar-2008/0011.html I looked that up because I stumbled upon the following addition to the list, as of February 2008: "CLASSIFICATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS. ISSUE 10" -- http://lfvn.astronomer.ru/report/0000028/index.htm Here are more titles, all regarding geosats (with a few highly eccentric ones included occasionally). As Allen mentioned, Vladimir Agapov is involved in many if not all of them: "Faint GEO objects search and orbital analysis" -- http://lfvn.astronomer.ru/report/0000003/p000003.htm "Joint RAS/PIMS/AIUB GEO survey results" (cooperative survey of satellites in the geostationary belt area) -- http://lfvn.astronomer.ru/report/0000005/p000005.htm "Results of GEO region artificial objects population research and proposal for organization of cooperative international GEO space debris monitoring" -- http://lfvn.astronomer.ru/report/0000020/en_index.htm "International scientific optical network for space debris research" -- http://lfvn.astronomer.ru/report/0000012/p000012.htm "On orbital evolution of explosion fragments" -- http://lfvn.astronomer.ru/report/0000013/p000013.htm If you can read Russian, there are a lot more titles on this page: http://lfvn.astronomer.ru/main/report.htm Public aside to list administrator: Ted, Thank you very much for your message working on the identification of the re-entered object found in Australia!
