Rob Mastson wrote a program called cola, that will tell you how close they came to each other, in km. You can download it from http://users2.ev1.net/~mmccants/programs/index.html Using these orbits ATLAS CENTAUR R/B 1 03598U 68110B 04217.89394203 .00000224 00000-0 58707-4 0 8328 2 03598 34.9944 174.0227 0051819 354.0302 5.9770 14.52030317882657 SL-8 R/B 1 04139U 69091B 04217.19029789 .00000094 00000-0 25740-4 0 9660 2 04139 74.0319 92.3166 0005554 280.8470 79.2070 14.60244806842709 I first used stk, to compute the info, they came within 35 km of each other. But here's some of the output from rob's program. Satellites in range of ATLAS CENTAUR R/B: 1 Date UTC Time Norad Name Range (km) 8/ 3/2004 2:54:56.54 4139 SL-8 R/B 35.5 Kevin __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
