Below are my obs of an impressive transit earlier this evening by the
decaying NOSS 2-3 rocket, #23907. It was indeed going like a rocket and
was within a second or so of a Quicksat prediction from Mike's elset:
NOSS 2-3 r 9.8 3.0 0.0 4.8 v 302 x 276 km
1 23907U 96029B 99038.75044908 .00187000 00000-0 47366-3 0 01
2 23907 63.4356 289.1977 0018999 67.7645 292.2355 15.94730617 05
I expect SpaceCom to declassify elsets for this before the end of this
month, probably about the day of its first appearance in the 60d Decay
Forecast.
