Good morning
Ive had a few queries about the matches to satellites of objects mentioned
in the ESA REPORT#10 and, from information that can be found on the
internet with a little searching, Ive compiled the following table. Maybe it
will inspire others to observe these objects. I cannot claim any originality
in these identifications and would welcome comments/corrections.
Cheers
Greg

Comments:
----------
(1) As can be seen there are quite a few major objects - denoted by XXXXXX
in the 4th column which are not in CLASSIFIED.TLE. I personally feel
that these objects should be observed and added .They are not difficult
objects.
(2) Whilst Peter Wakelin and myself are doing a good job of keeping tabs
on high altitude satellites in our trackable area, a large number of
the above objects are below our horizon. It is unfortunate that no
serious amateur effort is made from anywhere else to observe these
objects - many of the objects are in drifting orbits which mean that
in the course of time they will do a complete trip around the Clarke
belt, so whilst out of range to Peter or myself they are not tracked.
Is it too much of a challenge for other observers :-))
