As these two satellites have the same inclination and ascending node, they
can get close to each other.
The next time they will be very close to each other, will be march 1999,
predicted by cola.
As I look for satellites who have the same inclination and ascending node,
to predicte when two satellites will be close to each other, is there any
programs that will sort orbitel elements by ascending node, are can someone
help me program a simple program that will sort the elements by ascending
node.

Thanks

Kevin
