Monday MIR was just completing appox. orbit >55345.XX somthing or other... and now I use the TLE's from OIG and they >are giving me an orbit number of something like 43239.XX, I have made no The orbit # is fairly abritrary, and often wrong. Best thing to do is ignore them. -------------------- >archive/latest/1175 > there isn't a Jane's Space Debris catalogue anywhere ;) I'm working on it. Give me a chance. It will probably take a few years :( -------------------- Now I have some questions. The cover of FLASH magazine has STS and a Russian spacecraft. What is the Russian craft? What is the word printed on it ( KPNCTA|| ) ? What does the near-by 94-42 represent? What is VERENIGING VOOR STERRENKUNDE ? What is KUNSTMANEN ? Thanks. Jay.Respler@Genie.com Freehold, New Jersey
