Yes EGP is still rotating. The last time I saw it was Dec 7. I wouldn't even try to measure its flash period, it flashes so much! If anyone has never seen it, take a look at it, it great. EGP 1 16908U 86061A 01365.65560228 -.00000083 00000-0 10000-3 0 6481 2 16908 50.0155 255.8990 0010878 121.2237 238.9702 12.44439786368356 It will be up there for a vary long time. Ed wrote Is EGP/Ajisai still rotating due to its high orbit? Its diameter is 2.14 meters; mass is 685 kg. Its apparently rapid rotation and the brightness of its flashes from such a high orbit make me wonder if quite a bit faster rotation would be better for Starshines. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
