Hi All A study of radio data from the NOSS constellation has revealed no sign of NOSS 3-1 since I started looking during my predicted pass of NOSS 3-1 at ~0443UTC on November 16 (prior to Alain's report of a missing object.) Visual obs have not been possible due to weather for may days here. All the other NOSSs have showed up on time with one interesting anomaly, NOSS 3-2 seems to be consistently running ~3min late when using these elsets from Mike's Classified TLEs: NOSS 3-2 (A) 1 28095U 03054A 11309.00606613 0.00000030 00000-0 52008-4 0 07 2 28095 63.4300 141.0143 0123000 359.6503 0.3496 13.40763624 01 NOSS 3-2 (C) 1 28097U 03054C 11309.00614772 0.00000020 00000-0 34621-4 0 04 2 28097 63.4300 141.1867 0125000 359.5789 0.4211 13.40763551 09 The following links provide the earliest Doppler curve from NOSS 3-2 I have recorded: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15916951/SATOBS/Sband_1111161400_NOSS3_2.JPG And this image shows the expected time of closest approach for the pass: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15916951/SATOBS/NOSS_3_2_prediction_135202_Nov16.JPG Would be interesting to see if visual observation confirms this.
