USA 129 was still on time at 19:23 UTC Aug.20 seen from 5919 with Sun at -7 degrees. In fact I timed ROCSat 2 Ta Rk #28255 04018B appulsing alpha Cygni and followed it for ten seconds, when it was overtaken by the faster, brighter and lower USA 129 in the binocular field. Unfortunately, I couldn't decide which one to follow, and lost both. If it has been raised, it was not more than a few seconds late. -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- ----- Original Message ----- > Today, the separation exceeds 2:38, and will reach 2:48 on Aug.29, so > we can expect 129 to be about 2 minutes late one day after the reboost, > and an additional +2.0 min/day. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
