Observation at 2420 Willowbrae at 00:48 U.T. on June 1 of 96-29A showed a second object trailing it by 4.6 seconds. Magnitude at good phase estimated at +6.5. This is believed to be the first of the deployment of a trio of NOSS satellites, and I am calling it 96-29C. A second object can be expected shortly, with a gap until the third object is deployed, due to need to give a different arg of perigee value. It will be interesting to then try to determine what happens to the "A" object. best wishes Russell
