Jose, I would be very interested in any of your mirror angle/magnitude estimates, especially with tandem and terra SAR – X. I’ve been following this one for several years now, and would like to gather data from other observers and produce a plot of incident angle and magnitude. Although many of the other satellites are fascinating for their flare behavior, these two, by virtue of flying so closely in formation, are especially fascinating. I believe you may have meant a different satellite number - perhaps in reference to Gaofen 6? Don’t worry though, I for one will not get too worked up about translating difficulties.
