Hello All,
I was recently pointed to a URL regarding orbit debris while trying to add
info to the proposed FAQ for SeeSat-L.
http://www-sn.jsc.nasa.gov/debris/toc.html
There was an understatement made that I could find all the info I ever wanted
to know. We're talking mega bytes, but bring your Adobe Acrobat reader. My
recollection is that you can find a free copy of the reader on the JPL web
site for Galileo, http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/galileo/
Included in the page (adobe not required) is a computer
simulation graphic of all the satellites circling the Earth in both LEO and
HEO on a particular day in 1990. For the life of me I can't figure out why I
can't see more sats ;-) Check it out.
