Thanks for the update Ted....this is interesting beecause it now looks like DSP will arrive at the next major geo slot ( Astra 2 , 28.5 east ) around the time of the solar outage peak. ....when the five birds in that slot will be going through long periods of shadow ( about 1h 45ms ) A difficult enough time for flight controllers....so this will just add to the tension. 28.5 east has five large comms sats which feed the UKs major satellite provider , Sky ( Astra 2A , B , C , D and Eurobird 1 ) John --- On Wed, 18/2/09, Ted Molczan <ssl3molcz@rogers.com> wrote: > From: Ted Molczan <ssl3molcz@rogers.com> > Subject: DSP 23 elements > To: seesat-l@satobs.org > Date: Wednesday, 18 February, 2009, 1:02 AM > On 2009 Feb 15 UTC, DSP 23 passed 24.1 E, drifting east 1.44 > deg per week, which > is accelerating. > > The following elements are derived from 23 observations by > Greg Roberts and > Peter Wakelin. > > DSP F23 > 1 32287U 07054A 09046.26813068 .00000000 00000-0 > 00000-0 0 04 > 2 32287 2.8034 266.0797 0003047 348.3282 11.4856 > 1.00330851 08 > Arc 2009 Jan 09.23 - Feb 15.80, WRMS residuals = 0.004 deg > > Ted Molczan > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, > SeeSat-L archive: > http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
