Using Pierre's elset #263 and my pre-manoeuvre search elsets, adjusted to fit the times of my 0422/0424 observations, ALLCOLA gave the perigee around 21:46:14 on 0427 as the most likely one for the orbit change (USSPACECOM 70000 below indicated one orbit earlier). This is one hour after passing long -111, lat +34 on the southbound leg. Adjusting deltaV to match the MM of my two observations (13.5 m/s) I get: USA 116 Post-manoeuvre 1 23728E 95066A 00118.84035485 .00016969 00000-0 42369-3 0 92647 2 23728 97.9019 230.9380 0455354 355.6921 4.0424 14.74814669 -927 USA 116 pre-manoeuvre 1 23728E 95066A 00118.84073554 .00017802 00000-0 42369-3 0 82642 2 23728 97.9019 230.9376 0419573 355.6705 4.0921 14.83120714 -928 I have used elset type E (estimated) as suggested in a seesat-L discussion some time ago. This allows archiving with the prober object elsets, yet indicates it is not a released Unclassified elset. -- bjorn.gimle@tietotech.se (office) -- -- b_gimle@algonet.se (home) http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- -- COSPAR 5919, MALMA, 59.2615 N, 18.6206 E, 33 m -- -- COSPAR 5918, HAMMARBY, 59.2985 N, 18.1045 E, 44 m -- -- SeeSat-L / Visual Satellite Observer Home Page found at -- -- http://www2.satellite.eu.org/satintro.html -- From: "Ted Molczan" <molczan@home.com> > Russell Eberst observed an object on 30 April at 23:19 UTC, that may be USA 116 > (95066A / 23728). > > Pierre Neirinck has produced this search orbit, which is a good fit to the two > points that Russell obtained: > > 1 70000U 00122.23258110 .00021000 00000-0 27097-3 0 08 > 2 70000 97.9145 234.2473 0526626 342.6962 15.3768 14.73850000 06 > ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
