They look like a globalstar satellite, just different in stuff like solar panels. Image of what they will look like http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/iridium/44300/images/44300-lo-NEXT_satellite_image.jpg Compare to globalstar satellite http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/globalstar.htm So they won't have the antenna's like the current iridium's, and so they won't produce flares like the current iridium's do. That's the way I see it. Kevin _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
