I know no one else thinks these launches reached orbit (and the radar tracking of the launches and the lack of any tracking of objects in orbit supports this view), but have the North Koreans ever retracted this claim, or referred to the upcoming launch as carrying their first satellite? _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
