Greg Roberts and Peter Wakelin contributed observations used to determine one or more of the following element sets. The mean motion of SDS 3-3 is uncertain: SDS 3-3 827 X 39521 km 1 28384U 04034A 10216.91750699 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 05 2 28384 63.9178 292.5602 7286445 272.6764 13.9713 2.00642540 04 Arc 20100804.96-0804.97 WRMS resid 0.010 totl 0.006 xtrk PAN manoeuvred last week, and Peter recovered it last night. If it was synchronous last night, then these are its approximate elements: PAN 35770 X 35804 km 1 35815U 09047A 10216.65978735 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 05 2 35815 0.0600 237.9044 0004000 255.8328 94.9117 1.00273500 05 Arc 20100804.9-0804.95 WRMS resid 0.015 totl 0.014 xtrk If it was drifting last night, and also on July 28, when Greg observed it, then I suggest using these elements: PAN 35732 X 35799 km 1 35815U 09047A 10216.74452939 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 08 2 35815 0.0787 256.3185 0008000 219.4895 143.4177 1.00350921 00 Arc 20100728.75-0804.95 WRMS resid 0.003 totl 0.003 xtrk 04539A 1685 X 38704 km 1 90020U 04539A 10216.63852116 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 07 2 90020 64.3660 115.8192 6965780 244.6222 30.7295 2.00414832 08 Arc 20100617.05-0804.93 WRMS resid 0.011 totl 0.010 xtrk Ted Molczan _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
