How does a 1962 launched Delta R/B - a "B" object - suddenly appear 38 years later as a newly catalogued object with a 1970 epoch? Does anyone have any info on this launch? With an apogee of 96,500 km and a perigee of about 2000 km it would seem to be a challenging object to observe. -------------------------------------------------------- Internatnl Designator CatNo Common Name Source LaunchDate ------------ ----- ------------------------- ------ ---------- 1962-051B 26558 DELTA 1 R/B US 1962/10/02 DELTA 1 R/B 1 26558U 62051B 70263.16288927 -.00000592 00000-0 00000+0 0 11 2 26558 49.6824 326.4919 8496144 341.5264 1.5152 0.66173307 14 Cheers Don Gardner 39.1799 N, 76.8406 W, 100m ASL http://hometown.aol.com/mir16609/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
