Nico, I have made adjustments to the CelesTrak SATCAT, based on the information you provided from the Russian owners on their IDs. Of course, if they are as close as Marco reports, we might expect that IDs vs. TLEs could still shuffle. - TS Dr. T.S.

This seems to confirm that they are actually docked now. Let's keep an eye on them to see what further surprises they have to offer.

Kosmos 2537 and 2538 are the objects 44422 and 44423. These are passive satellites that do not maneuver. Therefore the Satcat at 18 SPCS and at CelesTrak are not correct. Jonathan McDowell's GCAT is correct. NJ I tried to image them this evening (85 mm lens) but they are so close together (only 18 arcseconds according to the ephemerids!) that they look like one, non-separable object on my video. This one really needs telescopic observations. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org<mailto:sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org> Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Launchtower: http://launchtower.langbroek.org Software: http://software.langbroek.org Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Mon Sep 21 2020 - 12:37:36 UTC
