Bjoern was responding to an e-mail from Pierre Neirinck, which was not posted to SeeSat-L: > 66A 13jul 0010.55 at my zenith mag+2 The object was about 60 minutes late relative Mike McCants' latest pre-manoeuvre elset: 1 23728U 95066A 01185.93699832 .00013500 00000-0 28362-3 0 08 2 23728 97.9050 298.0714 0426500 24.8650 335.1348 14.84599901 04 > This observation alone, and an assumed time of reboost at July 06.7603 > (perigee), leed to this search orbit: > USA 116 +15.8 m/s 01197.7603 > 1 23728U 95066A 1187.76030000 .00013500 00000-0 28362-3 0 29 > 2 23728 97.9050 299.8856 0468187 18.9296 359.9967 14.74915726 284 Coincidentally, I too have been looking at possible search orbits, and came up with this similar result, based upon a manoeuvre two revs earlier: 1 79100U 01187.62515046 .00010000 00000-0 22279-3 0 02 2 79100 97.9050 299.7512 0468000 19.3318 0.0000 14.74850000 06 We can only guess at the time and magnitude of the manoeuvre, so it would be wise to allow at least several minutes uncertainty.
