There was a listing on heavens-above.com just now for my location for a pass this evening of a "Delta 2 R/B" with an expected apparent magnitude of -0.4. That seemed a little surprising. Looking at the "orbit" page for this object, it appears to pass inside the Earth: http://www.heavens-above.com/orbit.aspx?satid=35939 I am guessing that this is defunct orbital element set for a decayed object. Is that right? Is there a direct way to tell this from the TLE data? Frank Reed ReedNavigation.com Conanicut Island USA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
