Just checked first frames of the session, and shape is very well recognized. Size of the remnant must be considerable I wonder that this satellite actually fragmented in so many pieces as reported. Results later.... Ralf Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 12:14 PM Subject: Cosmos 2421 observations April 5, 19:51 UTC, imaged great 81°pass of Cosmos 2421 sat. It was at an obvious mag 1.6, guess this must be the largest piece of the sat. Apparant speed was comparable with ISS, as it orbits at 350-360 km. In 2008, there was an ISS avoidance manoeuvre for one of the pieces of this sat: http://tinyurl.com/6jz2p8 Anyone an idea of dimensions of this biggest piece? Images not processed yet, results later.... regards, Ralf Vandebergh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
