Your question is easily answered by consulting the catalogue. As a general principle, public catalogue numbers are applied to uniquely-identifiable items of hardware - NORAD errors and confusion, and the cataloguing of re-launched Shuttles etc, excepted. Why would use by different astronaut or a subsequent EVA generate a new number for a catalogued MMU? Soyuz doesn't get renumbered for a redocking manoevre, neither does it get renumbered when returning to Earth with a different crew from the one at launch. Bob Christy - original message - Subject: RE: Do astronauts get catalog #s? From: David Anderman <davida@cwo.com> Date: 13/06/2007 22:35 I have to ask: was the NORAD number for the particular astronaut, or the MMU? In other words, did another astronaut using the MMU get a new NORAD number? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
