Hi all, Ted already presented his analytical results on the close approach of USA 276 to the ISS on June 3. I have now put up my results too, updated today with more visualisations: https://sattrackcam.blogspot.nl/2017/06/close-encounters-of-classified-kinda.html Note the diagrams which I added today, showing the "circling" of the ISS both cross-track and along-track. I find a slightly larger nominal approach distance than Ted does: 6.4 +- 2 km (Ted found 4.4 km). That is stil quite close (and much closer than in initial prognosis, which were based on a projected ISS orbit). It remained just outside the 4 x 4 x 10 km safety box around ISS (this is also visualized in the blog post). - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4355 (Cronesteyn): 52.13878 N, 4.49937 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Wed Jun 07 2017 - 16:23:12 UTC
