Yes, Gemini 4, according to the TRW Space Log, was in a 281x162 km orbit. The uncatalogued glove is surely long gone, having ended in somewhat Old Testamentish fashion as a flaming hand in the sky. BTW, OIG doesn't seem to have any TLEs for Gemini 4 and the Titan RB, NORAD 01390 and 01391. If any of you space historians have some, I'd appreciate getting them for my archive project. (2.3 GB of TLEs and growing.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
