I was using Heavens-Above predictions to casually observe satellite passages on July 31, 2006 just after dusk. My location is Murfreesboro, TN, Lat. 35.846, Long. -86.390 in the Central time zone. I saw Cosmos 1980 at 21:09, Cosmos 1220 at 21:10, and Lacrosse 3 at 21:14 (which gave a bright glint). All were on a very similar track, N to S through Cygnus. Then at 21:18 I saw a pair of satellites moving in tandem along nearly the same path as the previous satellites. The two satellites were separated by about 5 degrees of arc with a magnitude of 4 or 4.5, passing a little closer to the zenith toward Lyra. There was nothing in the heavens-above predictions for them. Can anyone help me identify this satellite pair? Thanks Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
