Here is Ted's most probable elset for USA 129, and a guess for USA 116. USA 129 Search 1 70003U 00335.08094329 .00040000 00000-0 60988-3 0 07 2 70003 97.8152 35.2887 0513000 158.2240 0.0000 14.73500000 08 USA 116 Search 1 70013U 95066A 00335.23641528 .00020235 00000-0 45899-3 0 16 2 70013 97.9527 84.0380 0466319 11.0767 350.0291 14.73613379 1127 When more accurate data for USA 129 become available, try to look for USA 116 about 2:44 after USA 129, decreasing by about a minute a day, also adjust MM 14.736 of this elset to about 0.0007 higher than (the MM on day 00335 for) USA 129. These conditions are clearly not fulfilled by the above elsets, but should provide reasonable search +- 10 minutes. -- bjorn.gimle@tietotech.se (office) -- -- b_gimle@algonet.se (home) http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2576 N, 18.6172 E, 23 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- -- SeeSat-L searching now available (URL at the last line) -- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Molczan" <molczan@home.com> To: <SeeSat-L@blackadder.lmsal.com> Sent: Friday, December 01, 2000 11:23 PM Subject: 96072A / USA 129 has been recovered > I agree with Tony Beresford that he has recovered USA 129, per his post earlier > today: > > http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/Dec-2000/0004.html > > Further observations are required in order to determine the exact time of the > manoeuvre, but I note that Tony reported USA 129 about 15 seconds early on > these search elements: > > 1 70002U 00335.01357639 .00040000 00000-0 60988-3 0 05 > 2 70002 97.8152 35.2224 0513000 158.4454 0.0000 14.73500000 01 > > and 26 seconds late on these search elements: > > 1 70003U 00335.08094329 .00040000 00000-0 60988-3 0 07 > 2 70003 97.8152 35.2887 0513000 158.2240 0.0000 14.73500000 08 > > The epoch's of the above appear to be the most probable candidate manoeuvre > times. > > Observers should allow for several minutes uncertainty in the time of arrival, > based on the above elsets. > > Ted Molczan > > > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' > in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org > http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
