Hi all, Just got a report with pictures from a Dutch aircraft pilot of what I think is the de-orbit burn/depressurization of the Falcon 9 upper stage from the Zuma launch last night. The images definitely show something rocket-related. Time reportedly was near 2:18 UT (January 8), location flying above Khartoum in Sudan. Object moved in (roughly) southerly direction. This was about 40-45 minutes before opening of the upper stage re-entry window. More details to follow later. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4355 (Cronesteyn): 52.13878 N, 4.49937 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Mon Jan 08 2018 - 12:11:47 UTC
