I sent this mail on July 26 (?). It is in my outbox, but it doesn't seem to have made it to seesat-l. It is a composite of EORSAT facts: -------------------------------------------------------------------- >> From: JAY.RESPLER >> Electronic Ocean Reconnaissance SATellite >> RAE tables list Cosmos ..... Thanks, Jay ! From my .mag-, .n2l- and .rpt-files it appears that there has been at least one operating at a time since 1974, in 92.4 min. , 65 degreee orbits, and that they have been commanded out of that orbit after their useful life. Very few are in 74 deg. orbits, or higher, and/or having different dimensions (than 6.0 m dia.) Does anyone know which have followed the pattern of later years, with frequent small orbit adjustments, operating in pairs or triplets in the same orbital plane, and forced out of orbit after use ?
