As i was watching IGS Adapter #27701 03009D make a high elevation, 87deg, pass at 06:00 28 Jul UTC i noticed a fainter object trailing it, approx 5 deg separation. It turned out to be Quickbird 2 #26953 01047A. 2 minutes later IGS 1B #27699 03009B came along on it's 86deg elevation pass and it had an escort as well. Terra #25994 99068A, was a little further East at 78deg and behind, sort of like a 'wingman'. It was nice having 4 sats all headed the same way within a couple of minutes.
