Dear SeeSat Readers: I'm still interested in any rotation rate information you can give me for CHIPSat. We calculate we're in a nice Bar-B-Q roll right now at a moderate rate so you might see interesting flashes. We expect to start detumble activities Monday, so the rotation rate will go down. Please note that we've been using the ICESat orbit elements for antenna control so you may want to use those for your viewing. Our contacts at NASA/NORAD are working this issue, so you may see the "identity" of CHIPSat and ICESat swapped. I'll throw in a CHIPS poster, pin, patch, and decal as well as the personalized "thank you" certificate for the first few people to get us useful CHIPSat rotation rate observations. Thanks! -- Will Marchant marchant@ssl.berkeley.edu http://chips.ssl.berkeley.edu/~marchant/ -The best predictor of future performance is past performance- Dr Warren Jensen -Past screwups are the best predictor of future screwups- Donakowski's corollary to Jensen's Law ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
