Wednesday evening I was able to observe a pretty good 
pass of FUSE (25791, 99-35A), given its low inclination 
of only 25 degrees.  I was somewhat surprised at its 
brightness (+3.0 to +3.5), but now that I've found a 
good photo of it, I see why it's bright.  It's a large 
rectangular box about 5 or 6 meters tall, covered with 
shiny insulation.  The FUSE Web site -- 
http://fuse.pha.jhu.edu/ -- is very informative.  It 
even has current orbital elements for FUSE and its 
Delta 2 launch vehicle, and a link to the GSOC!
