Hi all, I finally had some time to complete and write up my analysis of the Malligyong-1 incremental orbit raises from earlier this month: https://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/2024/06/the-north-korean-satellite-malligyong-1.html Combined with my earlier analysis of the orbit raises in February, a clear pattern is emerging. I expect the next series of incremental orbit raises to initiate on either Monday 9, Monday 16 or Monday 23 September, 2024. They will raise the average orbit back to ~503 km. All the early June orbit raising increments (one per day over 5 days, from June 3 to June 7) happend during late (22-23h local time) evening passes over Pyongyang, as they did in February. The sun-synchronous orbit has a repeating ground track after 76.007 revolutions, i.e. each 5 days. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org launchtower: http://launchtower.langbroek.org Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list https://lists.seesatmail.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sun Jun 23 2024 - 04:36:28 UTC
