Kurt reports possible accelerations in 18096 (87-49B), 19257 (88-53B), and
22007 (92-36B).
My observations are as follows and seem to confirm that these objects have
spun up.
87-49B 95-12-23 01:16 PM 271 1.0 8 34.0
87-49B 96-01-09 11:37 PM 184.2 1.0 31 6.0
88-53B 96-01-09 10:38 PM 171 1.0 30 5.7
88-53B 96-01-09 12:23 PM 114 1.0 20 5.7
92-36B 96-01-05 01:19 PM 124.6 .05 53 2.35
92-36B 96-01-09 01:23 PM 126.1 .05 53 2.38
92-36B 96-01-09 12:20 PM 70.4 .03 30 2.35
Per Kurt's message of January 7, I would offer up the thought that the
accelerations may be caused by a leaky propellant valve rather than fuel
corrosion.
