Hi all,

I observed on April 21 a high satellite with unregular tumbling
(7x50 bino) it moved SW-NE in direction of Alkaid (Eta)Ursae Majoris.
Listed up to mag 6 with this direction and that time was only
oceanograhic sat Topex from 1992. I'm aware that it stopped functioning
in 2006. Is there any data available to witness its tumbling?

thanks,
Ralf
