Hi, I am new to recording on this system, I am studying your reports with great interest to pass on to The Northern Sydney Astronomical Society members in Australia. In the reports from Ulrich & James Oberg have you considered the Progress Tanker , see attached copy from site http://www.satellite.eu.org/mir.html ----- Original Message ----- Mir Information (latest on top) News reports have Mir's planned re-entry now occurring tentatively on March 20, 2001. The Russians will allow Mir's orbit to decay naturally to approximately 210 km, instead of the original plan of 250 km. """"At that point the Progress tanker will stablize Mir's rotation and lower the perigee to 160 km over the planned reentry area before the final braking manuever.""""" Russian information on the degradation of Mir's orbit can be found here. :- .http://www.satellite.eu.org/mir.html Paul Shallow NSAS Observations From: "Ulrich Beinert" <analemma@gmx.de> To: "SeeSat" <SeeSat-L@blackadder.lmsal.com> Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 5:04 AM Subject: RE: Lots of Mir Images taken with Meade ETX > I'm assuming it's moving in the same plane and at the same speed as Mir > itself, as it was visible at the same spot for three seconds (before I lost > Mir and only reaquired it 30 seconds later). > > In the image, Mir is about 15 arcseconds long and wide (it's 30x35 meters), > but I don't know if we're looking at it and seeing it at maximum size. > > HTH, > Ulrich > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: JamesOberg@aol.com [mailto:JamesOberg@aol.com] > > Sent: Sunday, March 11, 2001 4:30 PM > > To: analemma@gmx.de; SeeSat-L@blackadder.lmsal.com > > Subject: Re: Lots of Mir Images taken with Meade ETX > > > > > > In a message dated 3/11/01 8:43:27 AM Central Standard Time, > > analemma@gmx.de > > writes: << I also got a picture of a strange little dot flying to > > the side of > > Mir, also > > on my web site.
