Hi Paul, Good job catching the beginning of this one -- as you indicated, this will help contrain the possibilities for the spin axis... --Rob -----Original Message----- From: paul [mailto:astro@pgog.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 7:31 PM To: SeeSat-L@satobs.org Subject: Cosmos 2282 is now flashing 04sep I started looking for Cosmos 2282 23168 94038A at 04sep 0120 ut forward, first flash seen was 0219 ut although I was not looking continually, it definitely was not flashing at 0206, so we narrowed its flash window to 13 min starting range. this may have additional significance to Bjorn or Rob (or others) who calculate visibility cones. it is also possible that I saw the first flash as I was looking for about a minute to readjust the bino az/el and it seemed to be I did not see it and then it was flashing, but I cannot certify that it was not flashing between 0206 & 0219. will update. ******************************************** Paul Gabriel 8305 26.24306N 098.21614W GPS (CT|UTC-6/-5) +35.97m USGS/NED, -25.22m EGM96 Geoid height +10.75m WGS-84 Ellipsoid height aka McAllen, Texas USA 78504-2940 "wherever you go, there you are" astro@pgog.net ******************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
