Hi Yk, my guess is that commercial satellites that also take "wide" angle shots are most likely, and that these are taken vertically. But I don't know the angle. OTOH, I got a message that Swedish students were doing this Friday 8/ 5/23 12:24:36 0:14:04 Autotrack 292 76 25994 TERRA 8/ 5/23 11:56:46 0:14:04 Autotrack 291 76 25682 LANDSAT 7 (local times = UTC+2) -- Björn Gimle -- -- COSPAR 5917, STAR, +18.05447 (E), +59.34185 (N), 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5918 WGS84, +18.10127 (E), +59.29813 (N), 44 m -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, +18.6206 (E), +59.2615 (N), 33 m -- ----- Original Message ----- From: "ykchia" <chiayk1@singnet.com.sg> To: <seesat-l@satobs.org> Sent: Saturday, May 24, 2008 4:56 AM Subject: how to find out what sat.. > Hi folks: > > A few days ago, groups of student were holding out a combined 15m x 15m > and a NASA satellite was supposed to pass by and took a picture of this > reflection during noon time.
