    Jari,
    
    According to the recent TLE's Envisat should precede its rocket. I saw both
    low North East Saturday 2002-03-02
    at 19:21 and 19:25 UT near Lambda Bootis. Object A: mag +6.0, object B: mag
    +6.3. The day before their magnitudes
    were just reversed.
    
    Bram Dorreman,
    COSPAR 4160 (Achel 1):
    51° 16' 45.5" N (51.2793 N),
