The velocity difference (not accounting for angle between velocity vector) at the height 350 km between ISS (1998-067A) and 1998-067AQ is cca. 640 m/sec. Any explanation? < ------------ Původní zpráva ------------ < Od: Bill T Bard <Bill_T_Bard@raytheon.com> < Předmět: Re: ISS debris - EVA-8 < Datum: 09.2.2007 16:21:05 < ---------------------------------------- < FYI, regarding the sun shades released from the ISS yesterday, Bill < Harwood says: < < The flight director said each sun shade - both were located on the < aft side of the P3 truss segment - was about the size of a king-size < bed sheet. They were called XPOP sun shades and in the station's < current and future attitude, they were not needed; in fact, they < could have made things get too cold. Anyway, they were folded and < cinched and then just thrown overboard at roughly 0.1 feet per second < to aft, starboard and slightly nadir. < < He said they would burn up in about 20 days. For what it's worth. < < < Bill Bard < < ------------------------------------------------------------------------- < Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: < http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html < < < < Mgr.
