Hi Max.... Thanks for that...obviously I didnt see the sat then....and it looks like I slipped the wrong elset into LogSat....Hmmmm ! > Saw the payload at 0604 on time around +2/2.5 through Leo above the moon - > reddish/orange colour, appeared steady over the 10 sec arc or so it was > visible before either entering a deep fade or phase angle faded it out. Had > expected it brighter. > Looked for the 3rd stage at 0700 in a brightening clear sky about 15 deg > above the horizon but nil seen - just too faint. > Thoughts - how long can they control this thing if both the payload and 4th > stage are on battery power. I would have thought they needed to dump it > quick before it died on them. Good point , ... I was hoping to have had a further statement from SES by now , but nothing !
