Well, rats! I saw TRMM just a couple of minutes before the Molniya 3-49 platform (25381, 98-40C) predicted time, but TRMM is big and the phase was good, whereas the platform is little and its phase was so-so at best. Sigh. Well, maybe the next one.... This one won't last long with perigee of 139 km and apogee of 192 km!

I'm trying to maintain daily (sometime in the first six hours of the day UTC) at least an interim substitute for Alan Pickup's select.tle file. It's at: http://wwwvms.utexas.edu/~ecannon/selectec.txt Mike McCants is still continuing to update and publish daily, at about 20:00 or 21:00 UTC (as long as the scripts work, I guess) his recent.tle file (of the most recently launched objects): http://www.fc.net/~mikem/recent.html http://www.fc.net/~mikem/mikem/recent.zip http://www.fc.net/~mikem/ftp/recent.zip ftp://ftp.fc.net/pub/users/mikem/recent.zip Okay, now I'd better get some sleep!
