Hi all, Towards the end of last month there were a number of articles about the possible demise of UARS after the guys in the mountain attributed four pieces of debris to the satellite. As far as I know the orbit of UARS has not altered significantly and this morning prior to an aborted attempt to image ISS , I managed to catch the satellite as predicted by HA ,between clouds (We had very strong gales here last night with heavy rain , but actual seeing was good ) The resultant image is nothing spectacular , but does show an object about 6 or more meters across with a definite structure...in fact it is possible to see the gold coloured array and what appears to be the bus.Direction of travel left to right http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/UARS0637_jan0908.jpg Is there any other supporting evidence to suggest UARS was involved in an orbital collision ? COSMOS 1275 was muted as the culprit.
