The KeyHole known as USA 186 (05042A / 28888) has been recovered by Russell Eberst, 93 days after it was last observed: http://satobs.org/seesat/Feb-2008/0230.html Russell observed it on two consecutive revolutions, enabling reasonably accurate estimate of the elements: USA 186 15.0 4.0 0.0 5.3 v 1 70000U 08043.86596889 .00005509 00000-0 50000-4 0 02 2 70000 97.8841 107.6127 0520393 316.1390 39.9584 14.81558552 07 Residuals are low. This solution is consistent with, and derived from, the search elements I posted after Tony Beresford reported it missing on 2007 Dec 09: http://satobs.org/seesat/Dec-2007/0073.html Ted Molczan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
