Hello everyone.

During my visit to GSFC yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak to a member 
of the Landsat 7 team. He stated that Landsat 7 is being maneuvered to 
underfly Landsat 5 to assist in the calibration of some instruments in 
Landsat 5 .  The two objects are fairly close together right now but he gave 
a date of June 2nd when the 2 would be next to each other for a period of 48 
hours.   

He did not know the reason for the change in inclination for the Landsat 7 Rk.

At some point the press releases will have the information here:
