I did not see USA 102 (94017B / 23031) during my search on 2002 Aug 19 from 20:50 to 21:25 UTC. The start time was 15 min early, and the end time was 20 min late, relative my search elements: 1 70001U 02115.12912960 .00010500 00000-0 67123-3 0 08 2 70001 105.0290 67.4212 0021000 276.6353 83.3646 15.08406176 02 The twilight was still quite bright during the first 10 min of the search, so the object might have been too faint to detect. I could also have missed it during the periods when I had to consult my chart, despite the precautions I took. I suspect that the object is more likely to be running earlier than later relative my search period. I saw 86008B as an unknown while re-positioning to my 96072A intercept point. 96072A points 3 through 7 appear to be the most accurate, but the time of point 5 appears to be more than 0.1 s early. 16511 86 008B 2701 G 20020819012950270 17 25 2211354+320638 18 S 24680 96 072A 2701 G 20020819020125170 17 25 2144336+230927 28 S 24680 96 072A 2701 G 20020819020140270 17 25 2150698+284611 18 S 24680 96 072A 2701 G 20020819020238690 17 25 2230568+505399 18 S 24680 96 072A 2701 G 20020819020315170 17 25 2318576+625184 97 S 24680 96 072A 2701 G 20020819020435140 17 25 0311940+742486 67 S 24680 96 072A 2701 G 20020819020537890 17 25 0537738+695130 28 S 24680 96 072A 2701 G 20020819033951100 17 25 1436786+274385 18 S Site 2701: 43.68764 N, 79.39243 W, 230 m Ted Molczan ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
