Hello All SpaceTrack still doesn't have the Shenzhou Orbital Module in the catalogue. Tiangong 1 is also still close to the orbit that Shenzhou was in before it re-entered. A possibility arises that Tiangong and the OM could be station-keeping. If close enough together, ground-based tracking sensors might not be able to differentiate them sufficiently to measure the OM orbit, hence no catalogue number yet. They are giving visible passes over the US and New Zealand at the moment. Has anyone observed either since Shenzhou 9 landed on Jun 29?
