This provisional post-manoeuvre orbit for USA 224 is based on observations by David Brierley and me: USA 224 1 37348U 11002A 21165.00715133 0.00014912 00000-0 12302-3 0 05 2 37348 97.8892 276.6083 0530502 157.6427 204.8870 14.81006602 06 rms 0.01 deg 25 obs arc Jun 13.00 - 14.01 UT It appears that the manoeuvre was on June 10 near 14:14 UT. It looks to be a normal orbit maintenance manoeuvre (raising apogee some 10 km) done while perigee was at the equator. Based on historic precedent, somewhere this summer I expect it to make a large manoeuvre, switching orbital plane to the secondary east plane and lowering apogee considerably. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org launchtower: http://launchtower.langbroek.org Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Mon Jun 14 2021 - 09:32:26 UTC
