Moist air today, and forecasts bad for Mon-Tue and Fri. I forgot to mention that of my 8 chance observations on Aug 02, three where Zenith-2 rockets, and they where all observed 22:26 - 22:33 between Cassiopeia and Lyra ! Below is the list of all Zenith-2s I know. If you save them to a file with one USSPACECOM #/line, e.g. Z.SEL, you can extract elsets for those from a larger X.TLE file with the program APPLYSEL x.tle z.sel z.tle (needs BRUN40.EXE, both in /programs/ibmpc below my homepage) (Tonight, I have passes by 15 of them, higher than 45 degrees, between 21:21 and 02:22 local time) Note: 8/13/2002 7:55:34.69 19650 Cosmos 1980 r will be overtaken by #16182 Cosmos 1697 r , computed with AllCola. Tonight they will be just seconds apart ! 24298 Cosmos 2333 r will be two minutes before 22220 Cosmos 2219 r, overtaken at 11:22 tomorrow (mean motions differ by >0.03, or about 4 min/day) 16182 17590 17974 19120 19650 20625 22220 22285 22566 22803 23088 23343 23405 23705 24298 25400 25407 25861 26070 27006 (and their satellites:) 16181 17589 17973 19119 19649 20624 22219 22284 22565 22802 23087 23342 23404 23704 24297 25394 25406 25860 26069 27001 -- bjorn.gimle@tietotech.se (office) -- -- b_gimle@algonet.se (home) http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
