05004C has manoeuvred higher, possibly to match the mean motion of 05004A. It was about 0.45 s late on my first pass, and about 0.80 s late on the next one. Here are approximate elements: NOSS 3-3 (C) 0.0 0.0 0.0 4.0 v 1 28541U 05004C 05065.13935035 .00000011 00000-0 20000-4 0 05 2 28541 63.4331 84.0813 0127620 179.6275 180.4867 13.39712963 09 Arc 2005 Mar 06.07 - 06.15, WRMS residuals = 0.030 deg This does not quite match the mean motion of 05004A, 13.39752 rev/d, but the arc is just one rev, so timing errors have a larger effect than when spread over many revs. The weather forecast is for clouds during the remaining passes tonight. 28537 05 004A 2701 P 20050306014343610 17 25 0523255-135410 18 S 28541 05 004C 2701 P 20050306014601080 17 25 0604863+052603 37 S 28537 05 004A 2701 P 20050306014626080 17 25 0616444+121635 37 S 28541 05 004C 2701 P 20050306033747480 17 25 0325648+333709 38 S 28541 05 004C 2701 P 20050306033907580 17 25 0259666+471308 28 S IOD format: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html Site 2701: 43.68764 N, 79.39243 W, 230 m Ted Molczan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
