I made several errors in my post: I read the time as 18:25 local instead of 18:35 local. I received Daves's mail stamped with local time 2002-12-03 01:25 (ie AM), so my natural (?) reaction was that "last evening" was 2002-12-02. However, a mail from Kevin Fetter prompted me to check the pass of STS, and so I conclude it was 2002-12-02 local time (same day 23:35 UTC) Near the location I suggested there was a solar panel flare by Iridium 58 2002-12- 1 18:31:21.5 at mag -2.5, immediately followed by a regular MMA flare 2002-12- 1 18:31:32.0 at mag 0.9, and finally Iridium 94 ? 2002-12- 1 18:34:03.4 at mag -3.9 (IridFlar predictions) The latter matches Dave's description, but would not be predicted by H-A since it is in engineering orbit. /Björn ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
