Only a few captures these days due to the bad weather. A sequence of five flashes from Yaogan 1 allowed the direction of its rotation axis to be computed: the axis is oriented toward the celestial coordinates DEC 14 deg, RA 2h30'. The rotation period is of about 16.7 s. The full report with photos of the captured flashes and a 3D representation of the rotating satellite is available here: YAOGAN 1 (29092 / 06015A) - Flash 0 http://www.satflare.com/fpas_reader.html?id=GSC73D201211250452 Other reports: SKYMED 3 (33412 / 08054A) - Flare -2 http://www.satflare.com/fpas_reader.html?id=GSC73A201211250441 IRIDIUM 911 (24842 / 97030G) - Flash +3 http://www.satflare.com/fpas_reader.html?id=GSC73E201211250455 NOAA 6 (11416 / 79057A) - Flash +2 http://www.satflare.com/fpas_reader.html?id=GSC73B201211250500 CRYOSAT 2 (36508 / 10013A) - Flare +4 http://www.satflare.com/fpas_reader.html?id=GSC73D201211250535 FPAS: FPAS12,33412,GSC73A,20121125,044132,1s,-,46.19113,9.02298,203, LSRG,KKK,25s,20s,-2,4,G1CkNNN,N,-,-,-,-,12330.18724437,-,-; FPAS12,29092,GSC73D,20121125,045239,1s,-,46.19113,9.02298,203, FSRG,KKK,80s,1s,0,inv,G1CkNNT,N,-,-,-,067.0 0.2 005 16.750 F,12330.92155800,-,- ; FPAS12,24842,GSC73E,20121125,045519,1s,-,46.19113,9.02298,203, FSRF,KKK,10s,0.2s,3,inv,G2CkNNT,N,-,-,-,005.5 0.3 002 05.500,12330.52536461,-,- ; FPAS12,11416,GSC73B,20121125,050007,1s,-,46.19113,9.02298,203, FSRF,KKK,3s,0.5s,2,inv,DHCkNNN,N,-,-,-,-,12329.55416124,-,-; FPAS12,36508,GSC73D,20121125,053559,1s,-,46.19113,9.02298,203, LSRG,KKK,10s,7s,4,5,GHCCNNN,N,-,-,-,-,12329.88035089,-,-; Remote Station: www.greaa.ch Regards, Simone _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
