Bob Christy has put up a web page with an initial summary of what radio observers have received so far from the malfunctioning Compass 2 satellite (06019C / 29159): http://www.zarya.info/Tracking/Radio/Compass-2.htm The periodic signal bursts are evident in the data plots. Visual observations of the satellite's rate of spin probably would aid in understanding the pattern of the signal bursts. Information on visibility windows and expected visual magnitude is available here: http://satobs.org/seesat/May-2006/0196.html Ted Molczan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
