The following updated elements are based on observations by Leo Barhorst and Marco Langbroek: NOSS 3-8 (A) 1013 x 1200 km 1 42058U 17011A 17075.18322093 0.00000000 00000-0 00000+0 0 09 2 42058 63.4475 114.1658 0125404 179.9572 180.1479 13.40771402 01 rms 0.03 from 20 observations March 13.15 - March 16.21 UT NOSS 3-8 (B) 1016 x 1197 km 1 42065U 17011B 17075.18308447 0.00000000 00000-0 00000+0 0 04 2 42065 63.4330 113.9954 0120659 178.0703 182.0812 13.40753244 04 rms 0.02 from 18 observations March 13.15 - March 16.21 UT At epoch time of the above elsets, the separation between the two payloads had decreased to 77.8 km. I expect them to reach the expected stabilisation value of ~45 km near March 23 (21 days = 3 weeks after launch). It appears that the leading B-component is now doing most of the manoeuvering. - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam_at_langbroek.org Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4355 (Cronesteyn): 52.13878 N, 4.49937 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Twitter: _at_Marco_Langbroek ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Thu Mar 16 2017 - 08:31:46 UTC
