I am trying to analyze the sail orientation related to the new photos. I started with the photo dated 17/02/2011 19.20 UTC, but there is something wrong: I am using TLE with epoch 11049.39523277 and the coordinates of Rautalampi (62.622°N 26.833°E), but the satellite should have been too far from the captured flare position. What am I doing wrong? Here a screenshot showing the flare position and the predicted satellite track: http://digilander.libero.it/SATrack/NanosailFlare17Feb.html Regards, Simone >----Messaggio originale---- >Da: satelliitit@wippies.fi >Data: 20-feb-2011 23.12 >A: <seesat-l@satobs.org> >Ogg: Nanosail-D still visible > > Vesa Vauhkonen from Rautalampi, Finland has succesfully observed >Nanosail-D in >February.
