Jim Oberg reports today that he learned that the ETS-7 (Orihime and Hikoboshi) satellites separated but failed to redock yesterday. We had a pass this morning but for the first time in weeks it rained here and the sky, which has almost always been clear in the morning was cloudy. We have another pass tomorrow morning at 940UT. Since the lifetime of the smaller of the two objects is only 3 days outside the primary satellite, observers might want to keep an eye on 25064. Paul Paul D.
