                 Flash email report for May 1995
                 -------------------------------

Some history:

The Belgian Working Group Satellites (BWGS) has been active in collecting flash
period observations of artificial satellites since 1987. All observations
are part of the PPAS database (Photometric Periods of Artificial Satellites)
which now contains over 34000 observations from more than 1200 satellites.
The Working Group publishes a monthly newsletter Flash, which is open to
contributions by observers (about any kind of satellite observations).
This email report is an addition to the newsletter. We welcome all observers
to send their flash timings to bdp@mpe.mpe-garching.mpg.de or BWGS,

SATORAMA (by Tristan Cools, tcools@nic.INbe.net):

Our observing programme can be found below.
It is subdivided in categories, the codes of which can be found below.

b       flashing object for beginners
d       difficult to measure
S       steady object, potentially flashing in the future
?       flash period is unknown or uncertain
-       long flash period (>40 s)
!       top-priority object
	regular object

>From this month on a new code will be added for the Determination of Rotation
Axis Project(DRA).  It is not a single code but a code which will be added to
an existing code.  For example: bx, dx, !x.
I don't know if Satflash can handle this completely but I'm sure that Jean De
Weerdt will solve eventual problems in no time!

The initials from Jay Respler have been changed from JAR into JHR on his
demand.  3 observations were already added to the PPAS archive:
87-49B: 95-02-08; 92-73B: 95-03-05 and 86-90A: 95-04-07.
New observers who want to send in their observations are asked to propose their
initials.  They will be adopted if someone else doesn't already has those
initials.

Total number of observations: 299
Next deadline for sending in observations: June 9, 1995
New observer: Jim Varney, initials will be JEV
