    Hello,
    
    I just downloaded these new elements:
    
    UNK                                              579 x 552 km

    I suppose that 26958 is the elset for Proba, for which I knew that this
    object would be the last satellite to be separated from the PSLV satellite.
    
    Unfortunately, it will only be visible for a limited period of time during
    the year.  The next vieuwing opportunity will be around april 2001.
    
    We(Thomas Goethals, Dirk Devlies and Tristan Cools) had a rather long
    television intervieuw on Belgian Public television and in prime time !  We
    talked about the satellite and the observation possibilities.
    
    It was a nice day.
