Interesting to know that someone is trying to observe this satellite. I have tried but never seen it. This satellite is the first Belgian made(ESA) satellite and can be compared in size with a washing machine. It is still operational and making wonderfull images of selected areas of our planet. This satelliet is(of course) part of the BWGS(Belgian Working Group Satellite) observing programme.
