Dear all those who responded, > If the flight profiles are the same .... The flight profiles are not the same !!! > As Ron Lee commented, it would be useful to have estimated TLE's. I do it now with David H. Ransom "MAK2LINE" ... (I have Breez Keplerian orbital elements but not full and not for all mission stages). > If the orbit is circular at 213 km after the first burn, how can Breez be > at 1739 km at the 2nd burn ? > End of burn given? If so, why not also give time and position of the > start of each burn ? Some additional data up to the moment 1)Parking orbit.
