Though, in the case of overshoot, the 140 W scenario might visit more eBay material on Patagonia. Using the current Mir TLE, the pass over Baikonur at 2001-03-06 1200 UT would be illustrative of such a deorbit, ah, orbit. > Tony Beresford (34.9638S, 138.6333E) Near enough to be interesting in the 140E case... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
