Hi all, Here are three 3D maps showing the current position of the catalogued USA 193 debris with their orbits. The red portions are in shadow. It's interesting to see the dispersion : http://www.obsat.com/images/193DEB1.gif http://www.obsat.com/images/193DEB2.gif http://www.obsat.com/images/193DEB3.gif The debris with the highest apogge is D at 1832 km. So we can't say that the ISS orbit is not at risk. Here's another map showing the ISS orbit relative to the debris orbits : http://www.obsat.com/images/193DEB4.gif Daniel Deak Webmestre, site Obsat Pompier, municipalite de L'Avenir, Quebec COSPAR site 1747 : 45.7275°N, 72.3526°W, 191 m., UTC-5:00 Site en francais sur les satellites: French-language satellite web site : http://www.obsat.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
