>>I am reporting what seems to be at least 20 satellites within a degrees or so >SL-12 R/B (Aux Motor) 97070F First let me say I have never seen such an intriguing satellite photo. According to heavens-above the orbit has an apogee of 14157 km and more importantly a perigee of 261 km. 261km sounds low. I'm not so great at orbits - is 261km low enough that it might be in the range of dipping into the atmosphere severely enough to break apart a rocket body? That would explain the multiple pieces. - George Roberts http://gr5.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
