It's called OPS 5960 by spacetrack, ie DSP 1 It was placed into orbit way back in 1970. http://www.skyrocket.de/space/doc_sdat/dsp-1.htm PPAS report 70- 093A 06-08-09 02:32:47 KF 21.0 mag 7 ->inv Video showing on it's flashes http://www.kfetter.com/satvideo/080906/ At the time it was around 16 h 52 m R.A -5 deg 36 min Dec It's orbit is Perigee = 25764 km Apogee = 36204 km Inclination 9.54 degrees Kevin 44.6062 N 75.6910 W __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
