Lacrosse 1 (88-106B) was missing from its predicted orbit this
evening (1997 March 26) on passes at 20:31 and 22.11 U.T.
It was observed successfully on March 24 at 19:32 and 21:13 U.T.
All observers are encouraged to check on any visible transits at
their site.
If de-orbiting has in fact taken place, it may well strengthen
the suggestion that a replacement Lacrosse is soon to be launched.
