Your second observation looks like it may be a match, running about 45 min early. To produce a search elset, I have changed the rate of decay of the latest 90040 elset derived from observations, to closely agree with your observation: 1 70000U 08060.14853200 .00001374 00000-0 23100-2 0 00 2 70000 27.4308 143.7982 6978822 90.2575 342.8454 2.59369622 01 Ted Molczan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
