At the moment USA 129 is only visible in the southern hemisphere and I seem to be the only observer of it. I have been assisted in the last few days by a canny estimate from Bjoern Gimle as to how much its orbit changed during last orbit adjustment. The orbital elements for ETS-6 are produced by US SPACECOM and distributed by the Orbit information Group ( OIG) at Goddard Spaceflight Center. You should find them in some of the collections of element sets Ralph has already mentioned. You will certainly find ETS-6 in Mike Mccants's alldat.tle file.Since I am a registered user at OIG I download the latest TLE for ETS-6 and other high flashers at least once a week, and make them available from my own website, ( http://www.adelaide.net.au/~starman ) as a short file( geoflsh.tle) Tony Beresford Adelaide, So.
