Space News appears to have picked up these observation reports: http://spacenews.com/japanese-astronomy-satellite-malfunctions-generates-debris/ "Amateur satellite observers, observing Hitomi from the ground, reported on a mailing list late March 27 seeing flashes from the satellite with a period of 5 to 10 seconds. Those flashes suggest that the spacecraft, which is normally three-axis stabilized, is spinning." _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Mon Mar 28 2016 - 12:50:52 UTC
