I checked before Greg's latest obs the possibility of a more circular orbit (like 01-44A) but the residuals grew (too much?) - now the chances seem nil. Current elsets indicate that the reboost was made on Nov.18 - very close to the time of Tony's obs 24680 96 072A 8597 P 20041118122330800 27 25 0546800-530004 48 S+035 and Mike's resulting elset! At this time, separation was only 2:24 - very premature - and MM became 14.725! Separation is now 2:12 and will "stay" there for a while. 2:45 may be reached about Feb.01, when perigee is nowhere near the equator. So, I have no ideas on the reason for the early reboost. /Björn ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
