A satellite moves about 500 km in a 'minute or 2'. At about 70 km height that is a substantial arc, and gives you a chance to give better az/el info, at least by checking landmarks later. I don't find any possible decayer around that time. -- b_gimle@algonet.se (home) http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
