This from another list .. hope it's helpful and is anyone else using "Starlight Cameras" to watch the birds? Ken Prentice ~78-44 Full details of all registration errors by all member states since the opening of the UN convention in 1962 may be found at http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~jcm/space/un/un_paper1.html examples... All classified satellites in 1999-2000: 1999-017A (DSP) Orbit given is wrong. 1999-023A (Milstar) Orbit given is wrong. 2000-001A (DSCS) Orbit given is not the final orbit. 2000-001C (IABS) Orbit given is wrong. 2000-024A (DSP) Data is correct. 2000-024D (IUS) Inclination given is wrong (probably accidental typo). 2000-047A (NRO) Data is correct. 2000-065A (DSCS) Orbit given is not the final orbit. 2000-065C (IABS) Orbit given is wrong. 2000-080A (NRO) Orbit given is not the final orbit. For example, the orbit given for 1999-017A is actually the orbit of another object from the 1999-017 launch. In contrast, the data given for unclassified satellites is substantially correct, with the following exceptions (mostly US satellites launched outside US territory) 1999-014: Demosat satellite not registered (Boeing Sea Launch). 1999-012, 1999-019, 1999-031, 1999-049, 1999-058, 1999-062: 24 Globalstar satellites not registered. 1999-053A: LMI 1 satellite not registered. 2000-035A: Correctly registered, but incorrectly stated that launch was made from US territory. 2000-067A: QuickBird satellite not registered. 2000-075C: Incorrectly registered (ST/SG/SER.E/385); it is actually a Swedish satellite already registered in ST/SG/SER.E/380 by Sweden. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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
