Very early pass here 0400 GMT , 80 plus degrees elevation Brighter than expected ( mag 1 ) and faster too ! Image at http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/USA__193x2.jpg Mars shown using same set up ( featureless ) for comparison I think we are seeing the body of the spacecraft , possibly dish antenna , but no sign of arrays. Did the bird fail as the arrays did not deploy ?
