Russell Eberst, Kevin Fetter, Mike Waterman, and I, contributed observations used to produce the following TLEs. NOSS 3-5 (A) 1010 X 1203 km 1 37386U 11014A 11158.95728688 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 06 2 37386 63.4425 215.8917 0129482 177.7965 182.3658 13.40422343 03 Arc 20110521.36-0607.97 WRMS resid 0.029 totl 0.015 xtrk NOSS 3-5 (B) 1010 X 1203 km 1 37391U 11014B 11158.95719942 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 05 2 37391 63.4374 215.7047 0128359 179.9935 180.1113 13.40421829 08 Arc 20110522.33-0607.97 WRMS resid 0.057 totl 0.017 xtrk The spacing between the NOSS 3-5 pair is about the same as that of earlier 3rd generation NOSS. I expect them to continue to drift for a time at their present mean motion, until they reach the optimal location within the constellation, whereupon they will manoeuvre to match the current mean motion of the constellation, about 13.4057 rev/d.
