Dear List, In just under two weeks, Greece's first satellite will be launched from Florida. I was wondering if a five-digit NORAD satellite ID is available? Also, it seems the satellite will be operational about six days after launch ... can I assume that it will be in its operational orbit soon after launch or will there be manouvering thereafter lasting more than the 30 minutes to get it into its proposed slot? Finally, the projected slot is at 39-deg East ... is any information available at this time as to the actual location with respect to existing geosats. For those interested, the solar panels are supposed to span 32 meters and the satellite is supposed to measure 4.9m x 1.7m x 2.5m (Mike McCant: info for your special file containing measurements). Anthony. ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from SeeSat-L, send a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@satobs.org List archived at http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
