Dear SeeSat-D, On 15 April 2004 at 04:47:55, GPS 2-16 Rocket1 passed over my home in Bangkok, Thailand. Heading east toward the rising sun, I saw a notably long and bright flare. The magnitude was approximately -5, and it lasted for around 20 seconds. Much more impressive than most Iridium flares. The following site has a detailed illustration of the components of a Delta 2 rocket. I wonder which part of the Delta 2 is GPS 2-16 Rocket1, as GPS 2-16 Rocket2 decayed years ago. Keep looking up. Thank you, Scott Davies Bangkok, Thailand ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
