Hi, everybody, I would like to know if there is a database or web site on the Net that gives a little information on the mission of the various satellites. I think it is far more interesting to observe a satellite you know something about, just like it is more interesting to observe a star if you know its name and something about it. Saw a surpisingly bright pass of Seasat 1 last night. First time I have logged that one and will add it to my "favorites" list. That is what has prompted my question. Also video-taped a -8 Iridium flare (but did not seem to be as bright as another I recorded that was listed as -8), the GRO, and Spot 3 R/B (not naked eye from my site but recordable with low-light video). Good birdwatching!
