What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The evening KH-11's start to disappear in evening twilight for me. 05-042A was captured in bright twilight using the 85mm lens and short exposures (2.5 s). Obviously it has not manoeuvered (yet) and is still drifting westwards relative to the main West KH plane. The RAAN difference with USA 245, the main West plane KH, is now 20 degrees, similar to what the difference between the main and secondary East plane satellites (USA 224 and USA 161) was before the winter blackout. If it does not manoeuvre soon and keeps drifting in a non sun-sync orbit as it does now, I have no idea what the plan is, if there is a plan. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Cospar 4355 (Cronesteyn): 52.13878 N, 4.49937 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: @Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sat May 03 2014 - 05:01:35 UTC
