NROL-27 was launched from Cape Canaveral on a Delta 4 Medium, with a 4 m dia fairing and two solid rocket boosters, on 2011 Mar 11, at 23:38 UTC. I offer the following notional elements, based on a descending node burn to GTO (geostationary transfer orbit), but the actual orbit is likely to be somewhat different. 278 X 36398 km 1 71503U 11071.21059953 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 03 2 71503 27.2800 341.6942 7307000 182.9000 167.5000 2.23480000 01 My earlier pre-launch comments are available here: http://satobs.org/seesat/Mar-2011/0194.html Ted Molczan _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
