Yes, I know about them. However, they usually run ahead of the pack and should not under normal conditions be part of it. Therefore, it would be good to know if these objects are the rods or STARLINKS. Their placement should be enough to track this down if there are elsets for the rods. Paul Paul D.

These objects were not steady and were slowly tumbling. I am wondering if these have been assessed to have failed. These are the rods that keep the stack of satellites together on the Falcon 9 untill they are released. They usually have a lifetime of a few days and then reenter. They appear in the catalogue as "Falcon 9 DEB". There are four of them per launch. - 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 Sat May 06 2023 - 08:21:23 UTC
