Russell Eberst reported these obs to me, and I verified that the agreement with expected orbit is excellent, and I was able to find it matching a MM close to my search elset. I have not yet matched this post-manoeuvre elset with my pre-manoeuvre observations, and the elset is not a proper OD - just trial and error, but it fits the time lap of Russell's obs within 0.2 sec, and his and my time within 5 sec and his positions within 0.2 deg. Once again I left my binoculars and stopwatch behind, so there is only one (IOD) position: NNNNN YY LLLABC SSSS C YYYYMMDDHHMMSSsss tt ce HHMMmmm+DDdddd pp 23728 95 066A 5918 G 20000503212006400 17 35 1940700+263400 37 USA 116 post-manoeuvre 1 23728U 95066A 115.78735000 .00024835 00000-0 45996-3 0 2604 2 23728 97.9151 227.9000 0450289 5.3393 356.0118 14.74700000 28866 > > I have two observations on what I believe is USA 116, since alldat.tle > doesn't come up with any other possibility. > > 2420 0004 0.211 1204 > 30 > 9506601 231910.02 202129+371723 5.6 5.6 0 S > 9506601 231931.78 205730+420829 5.7 5.7 0 S > 999 > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > best wishes > Russell Eberst @ North: 55 degrees, 56 minutes, 55 seconds: > West: 3 degrees, 8 minutes, 18 seconds: > 43metres (150 feet) above sea-level. 177700 Observations > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
