Hi all - I posted this last week, but didn't see it on Seesat, so here goes again.... The satellite ballet continues, with Priroda docked to Mir but it's booster playing tag with the space station. Here's a Quicksat output and my observations of a pass on the evening of April 26 in North America: 39.877 105.391 8950.

I saw no hint of Priroda Rk(2) = 1996-23C, but clouds were creeping in. cheers, Rich
