SatEvo decay list #123 (issued 2002 January 26)
These tables of my satellite decay (re-entry) analyses and predictions
are posted to the satellite observers mailing list, SeeSat-L, and to
the Usenet newsgroup sci.astro.satellites.visual-observe.
Information about SeeSat-L is available at
http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
The decay dates are based on each object's published orbital element
sets ("elsets") and, in the case pending decay, are included until
2002 March 20, although some larger and/or more interesting objects
are included beyond that date. The disintegration of the final stage
of the Indian TES PSLV rocket on December 19 has left us with a large
number of new debris objects, many of which will decay over the
coming two years.
This and other recent decay lists are available on the WWW via my
SatEvo page at
http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/
Linked from this page are files containing recent elsets for all the
Iridium satellites, all the objects in this decay list, plus elsets for
other selected objects including the ISS, Starshine satellites,
the Shuttle and all newly launched and/or catalogued objects. I also
maintain a large file, satbase.tle, containing recent elsets for
8,200+ satellites. This is available in zipped form from the same
address.
