In late July 2008, Iridium 95 (27375, 2002-005D), up till then a spare satellite in orbital plane 3, entered the operational constellation, evidently to replace Iridium 28 (24948, 1997-051E). Currently, Iridium 28 remains close to its nominal position in the constellation, so had presumably failed on station. I have updated my Iridium Constellation Status page at http://www.rod.sladen.org.uk/iridium.htm to reflect this change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
