98 08 A orbit was raised in may 2005 and again during 2006 99 49 B orbit was raised Jan/Feb 2008 and again in Aug 2008. Their operational orbit is 1414 x 1414 km with a period of 114.07 min. Here are the 2 entries of these sats in my RAE satellite lists. The orbital data is: date of orbital determination, inclination, period in min, semi major axis in km, perigee and apogee in km, eccentricity, argument of perigee Globalstar M001 1998-08 A 1998 Feb 14.61 Trapezoidal 0.60 x 1.50 1998 Feb 14.67 52.00 110.53 7630 1244 1259 0.001 258 [Delta-2 (7420)] [25162] box + 2 panels x 1.60 1998 Mar 15.60 52.01 110.67 7636 1249 1266 0.001 353 CC 450 full 12 span 1998 May 7.36 52.02 114.67 7819 1398 1483 0.005 254 400 empty 1998 May 10.71 52.01 114.30 7802 1381 1465 0.005 244 1998 May 18.87 52.00 114.05 7791 1373 1452 0.005 262 1998 Oct 31.13 52.01 114.07 7792 1411 1415 0.0003 8 2005 Apr 20.78 52.00 114.07 7792 1412 1414 0.0001 182 2005 May 26.14 52.01 114.97 7832 1448 1459 0.0007 75 2005 Oct 12.48 52.00 114.97 7832 1452 1455 0.0002 124 2006 Apr 19.63 52.00 115.22 7844 1464 1466 0.0001 178 2006 Apr 21.31 52.00 115.62 7862 1483 1484 0.00008 163 2006 Jun 22.61 52.01 116.03 7881 1501 1504 0.0002 140 2006 Oct 12.25 52.01 116.28 7892 1512 1515 0.0002 351 2011 Mar 22.10 52.01 116.30 7893 1513 1516 0.0002 80 Globalstar M054 1999-49 B 1999 Sep 22.61 Trapezoidal 0.60 x 1.50 1999 Sep 22.88 52.01 103.58 7307 901 955 0.003 187 [25908] box + 2 panels x 1.60 1999 Sep 28.91 52.00 107.00 7466 1062 1113 0.003 208 450 full 12 span 1999 Oct 4.50 52.00 112.45 7718 1324 1355 0.002 171 400 empty 1999 Oct 7.74 52.00 114.00 7789 1407 1413 0.0003 125 1999 Oct 15.58 51.99 114.07 7792 1411 1415 0.0002 342 2008 Jan 23.27 52.00 114.40 7807 1426 1430 0.0003 337 2008 Feb 22.30 52.00 116.12 7885 1505 1507 0.0001 248 2008 Aug 1.93 52.00 116.38 7896 1515 1520 0.0003 98 2008 Aug 10.41 52.00 119.27 8026 1645 1650 0.0003 112 2011 May 29.14 52.00 119.27 8026 1641 1655 0.0009 238 There are Globalstar sats in even higher RIP orbits as high as 2100 km such as 1999 37 A More info in the RAE satlists on my website www.satlist.nl I'm now updating the RAEfiles 1999-2005 with orbital data. They will appear year by year on the website when updated. Greetings, Leo Barhorst -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- From: Bram Dorreman Sent: Wednesday, June 08, 2011 1:14 AM To: Seesat List Subject: PPASObs 4160 (BD) 2011-05-25 Notes: 1) 99049B and 98008A are Globalstars in RIP orbit. RIP = "Rest in Peace". RIP-orbit is better known as graveyard orbit. In fact these objects might be moving up to an even higher orbit than on my observation day. I have to verify. Or some other observer might know.
