NOSS 3-1 (A) and (C) are experiencing a family reunion presently. The two s/c are very close together as NOSS 3-1 (C) drifts by relative to NOSS 3-1 (A). As noted by the obs below. The behaviour of modifying the MM of one of the group of NOSS type space craft is being actively used by the Yaogan 16 mission to form the trio of s/c in late January. Yaogan 9 used the same technique at the start of its mission. It appears two of the s/c in the Yaogan 16 group maneuvered to sync their MM soon after launch. The other increased its and is drifting relative to the other two now and will rejoin them in about a month... This family reunion seems planned for about 0000UTC on January 6th. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15916951/SATOBS/yaogan_commissioning.pdf Dec 13th: 28096 03 054B 8049 G 20121213025518966 17 25 1102753+695609 37 E 28096 03 054B 8049 G 20121213025523938 17 25 1052046+694666 37 S 26907 01 040C 8049 G 20121213032341552 17 25 1200668+671223 37 S 26907 01 040C 8049 G 20121213032348942 17 25 1145612+670319 37 S 26907 01 040C 8049 G 20121213032357470 17 25 1128680+664571 37 S Dec 14th: 20691 90 050C 8049 G 20121214143136363 17 25 2311332+693688 37 S 20691 90 050C 8049 G 20121214143145473 17 25 2249983+682931 37 S 20691 90 050C 8049 G 20121214143151860 17 25 2236823+673756 37 S 20692 90 050D 8049 G 20121214143309608 17 25 2330195+693215 37 S 20692 90 050D 8049 G 20121214143316177 17 25 2313574+685133 37 S 20692 90 050D 8049 G 20121214143325585 17 25 2252336+674457 37 S 20692 90 050D 8049 G 20121214143331911 17 25 2239704+665536 37 S 20642 90 050E 8049 G 20121214143510056 17 25 2323528+700165 37 S 20642 90 050E 8049 G 20121214143515730 17 25 2309424+692412 37 S 20642 90 050E 8049 G 20121214143526477 17 25 2245728+680409 37 S Dec 15th: 28096 03 054B 8049 G 20121215012530667 17 25 1021378+681315 37 S 28096 03 054B 8049 G 20121215012537588 17 25 1007944+680075 37 S 28096 03 054B 8049 G 20121215012547547 17 25 0949096+673513 37 S 28096 03 054B 8049 G 20121215012555737 17 25 0934417+670813 37 S 26905 01 040A 8049 G 20121215015306850 17 25 1047300+665076 37 S 26905 01 040A 8049 G 20121215015311526 17 25 1038121+663849 37 S 26907 01 040C 8049 G 20121215015306885 17 25 1048432+664037 37 S 26907 01 040C 8049 G 20121215015311120 17 25 1040156+663011 37 S 26905 01 040A 8049 G 20121215015314942 17 25 1031749+662803 37 S Regards, Scott Tilley ROBERTS CREEK 1: 8049 ST 49.4348 -123.6685 40.
